Thank you for showing this and sacrificing a brand new filter so we could see that as well. About to do a service on my buddy's 2017 Honda Odyssey we are planning to change out his inline filter with a Magnefine. Very similar filter but also has a powerful magnet inside. I know the Honda drain plugs are magnetic but can't hurt to have an extra magnet also has the pressure relief valve so that if the media did clog fluid would still flow.
@@MikeTrullAmsoildealer ...Yeah it looked the same as other filters I've seen cut apart, I can't help but wonder if the bypass valve was open on his 575Kmi filter if so it wouldn't be filtering at all to bad he didn't cut the element out to inspect the bypass. I also wonder about the specs (how many microns it filters down to.)
Wow thanks for that bonus tip!! I literally was at a stand still and put everything back because the hose was stuck. Will try again. Update: Tried it and it worked like a charm. Excellent bonus tip that saved me $175 from the dealership. 👍
I liked 3:03 "Holy crap! Those are not coming off". :) I have a 2009 Honda CR-V with 80,000 miles, and I just now learned about this transmission filter and will replace it. This is a good video. I was curious as to what was inside of those filters. Thanks for posting.
About a year and a half ago I watched this video, along with some others, while learning about why my transmission filter had never been replaced and decided I really should give it a shot, looked fairly straightforward to do. Bought a transmission filter back then just waiting for the right time. Pain in the butt, well more the lower back, but today I finally got around to replacing it. (About 290K now.) Didn't look inside though. ;) Tomorrow probably will replace the fuel pump strainer (whose existence I just recently found out about)... At least I won't have to do much digging around in the engine compartment for it....
That's a lifetime filter in my book. How many cars last that long (500K)? You got your money's worth! That goes to show with proper care your car can last a lifetime. Thanks
Great video. I was curious to see how they were made, so maybe I could fit one to my motorcycle. It was obviously going to be discoloured, but was it full of chunks is what I was waiting to see. 👍
Well, this makes for good discussion... Atleast you changed the fluid on schedule, that filter likely wasn't a big deal going that many miles, but it should be done on a schedule...
The filter was placed on to trap break-in debris. If the filter were to get clogged to the point where is hinders the flow of fluid the transmission is well on its way out. I would however replace the fluid (drain and fill at 60,000 mile intervals even a vehicle has lifetime fluid.
Actually, Honda says no need to replace them except you have got a transmission issue. It's supposed to be a lifetime thing. But I guess it's better off having a new one. (must be OEM though). Also, I believe any vehicle above 300,000 miles is well beyond its expected lifetime.
Interesting to see that the old filter at least didn't appear clogged with debris. How much fluid actually came out when you actually got the hoses to let go? 1 paper towel, or the whole roll? Also, keep an eye on the couplings with the hoses and new filter for a week or so. If they aren't under much pressure, it's probably a non-issue, but I've had to go back and replace a small hose or two where I've re-used it, but it was just too crusty to seal to the new part (usually way worse with coolant hoses).
Thanks! I see debates about whether the Honda OEM Filter has a "Clogged Filter Bypass Valve" or not. Could you tell from your tear-down? From what I saw in your vid, I'd say "No".
you guys don't know what you are looking for!! IT DEFINITELY HAS A SPRING LOADED BYPASS VALVE on the inlet side... you can easily press the spring open as a quick test.
Interesting topic and thats amazing it lasted that long with the original filter with no failure. But yes the filter is dirty but what does it look like at 100k miles? I have seen filters look like that at 60K miles but its the contents( metal, debri, clutch pack material etc...) that the filter is capturing is what i would have like to have seen. My suggestion is 30K- 60K miles would be just fine in changing the filter and at 100k change the oil. Great video.
Changed out my 2009 TSX ATF filter at 108k. Definitely not as easy as yours is to remove! It has a wiring harness directly on top of the rear hose clamp making it extremely difficult to access.
Not exactly "redone", but just had the torque converter seal replaced. They said the only time they replace this filter is when they either replace or rebuild a transmission. But you would think over 500,000 miles would qualify as well😅
@@clymerscarport961 I obviously did not watch until the end! I have a 2006 Acura TL and I just changed the transmission oil at 140K miles, so I think I will change the filter and transmission oil at 200K. Thank you for sharing!
Just remember nothing is forever ,i do not follow and believed what Honda or other car manufacturer said : this ATF filter is Not require as Normal schedule service ! My Honda Accord 9th is look like more difficult to replace this Auto transmission filter than your car as it is seat vertical on the back under fuse box ! But i will do it in the Future when it reach 50.000 km , i changed fluid at 20.000km by myself ( for me changing fluid every 3 year is better life for transmission and it is easy same as changing engine oil )😀
Well I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan and it's Got 250k So they say you're supposed to do the drain and fill at 30k I'm going to change the inline filter So now I'm going to do a drain and fill at 15K I figure it's a lot cheaper than a rebuilt transmission at 3 to $4000 Just my two cents.
The fluid is still good after 15k, Honda manual says every 60k miles or 3 years which ever comes first. It's on you but you're wasting money by doing it, the engineers at Honda kinda know what they're talking about lol.
Won't hurt it, but I would take a look at the fluid to see how it looks & go from there. You can also do some research to see if there is some kind of "shelf life" on trans fluid. It might be recommended just based on age🤔 Good luck & thanks for watching!
@@clymerscarport961 thanks for the reply, I was going through lot of forums and discussions and most of them are recommending fluid change every 40 to 60k. As I do mostly local drive I am thinking to do drain and fill.
@@psadhi city driving uses a lot of gear shifting compared to Hwy commute - The other aging factor for oil is heat related: high hear, shorter oil life. Best interval is 40 to 60KMi so minimum clutch material will get deposited inside valve body. At any rate transmissions are the weak link in the power train. If you respect your tranny then you have a chance it wont eat your wallet down the road when its too late and worn out 👍

Factory filter also has a relief valve built in. It was very impressive to see that filter with that many miles really did not have a lot in it.

Maaaybe i should change the 430,000 mile transmission filter. Nice vid
Great video. I have a 2004 TSXI change my transmission fluid filter at a 150000
Helpful bonus tip. Just what I needed.
Mine were stuck on, like they had glue in there.

I agree this in-line transmission filter should be changed every 100k mi. I changed my filter at about 95k. Right now my 05 TSX has 131k mi

That element was rinsed by the ATF with is a powerful solvent all the ATF was running through the bypass valve.
Never even knew to change transmission filters and I’ve got 268,000 miles on my Odyssey, 120,009 on my NSX, 106,000 miles on my RL.
Me neither until another viewer recently asked me about it!😅

daviderhahon thanks bro! Yeah I’ve since sold the Odyssey after my wife left me last Mother’s Day. Everything else still running strong.

It's been a couple weeks now, and no issues to report.
what no magnet being a trans filter you would think it would have one
If changing the AFT filter is not the scheduled maintenance, how come is there availability of Honda filters on the market these days? Weird!
One could in theory get damaged.
You convinced me not to bother changing mine. That filter looked fine for 500K miles.
crack a cold one instead👍
because the filter just was getting bypassed.
Good to know, Thanks
I want a vacuum filter that goes half a mill. Hate cleaning out my Shop Vac.
Can you show us how to change power steering fluid next!
Thanks! I see debates about whether the Honda OEM Filter has a "Clogged Filter Bypass Valve" or not. Could you tell from your tear-down? From what I saw in your vid, I'd say "No".
Didn't see one..
you guys don't know what you are looking for!!
IT DEFINITELY HAS A SPRING LOADED BYPASS VALVE on the inlet side... you can easily press the spring open as a quick test.
Put money on the ressessed hole on the element cap is part of a bypass.
Possibly one of those built in retirement features so you give into the itch.

Can anyone tell me what size the hose is for this filter. I want to add this as a secondary filter for another vehicle.
Magnefine filters makes a variety of filters in all the usual diameters.
Go with a Magnefine type of filter. Magnefine , Ford, ATP and others have them. Look up inline transmission filter.
Need more likes .... great video
thanks!
@@clymerscarport961 how did the car drive after
@@groovestreet77 no noticeable difference. haha.
Not bad for 500K miles. What's your transmission oil change interval, 30K miles? Did you ever flush?
it was every 30k or so early on. now it's every 60k now that it's finally broken in😁
my next one is due in 1k miles at 590k😎
Changed out my 2009 TSX ATF filter at 108k. Definitely not as easy as yours is to remove! It has a wiring harness directly on top of the rear hose clamp making it extremely difficult to access.
Interesting keep up the work
How’s the shifting performance since changing this filter?
it's the same. no real difference.
@@clymerscarport961 how was it before?
That’s funny you had the transmission re-done and they did not change that filter or did not tell you about it to
Not exactly "redone", but just had the torque converter seal replaced. They said the only time they replace this filter is when they either replace or rebuild a transmission. But you would think over 500,000 miles would qualify as well😅
I hope my '07 CRV makes it to 250k miles. How is this at 575k?
lots & lots of driving! but I'm at 607k now!
@@clymerscarport961 Awesome!!
So how often do you think this should be changed? Maybe every 100K miles?
That's exactly what I said towards the end of the video haha
@@clymerscarport961 I obviously did not watch until the end! I have a 2006 Acura TL and I just changed the transmission oil at 140K miles, so I think I will change the filter and transmission oil at 200K. Thank you for sharing!
it is on return line? does the filter have direction?
Yes
With all those miles, did you run premium fuel or regular?
Premium. I go over stuff like this on my maintenance series.👍

I got it from the dealer. You can see the part number on the packaging in the very beginning of the video. Thanks for watching!
Did you have to drain the trans fluid?
Nope. Because this filter sits on top of the trans, not much came out at all. Just what was in the filter.
you've done half way, why don't you took out the core???
My 2013 Tsx has 37k on it should I change trans fluid and filter?

It should
If it's a 2.4L, it should.
@@daviderhahon It's a V6
the music is loud and annoying as well as the grinder noises rather just have voices
How's the audio in your video?
Is the transmission shifting smoothly after so many miles?
Yes, haven't had any issues so far.
Clymers Carport mine was shifting kinda rough especially second gear and after a drain and fill it feels like a different car completely
It makes a big difference! It's why mine has lasted so long!
Bro who leaves the stock music over the voice when you edit this vid. Cmon now
i got 150k on my 06 tsx, maybe ill do this now? maybe not?
Wouldn't hurt, & fairly easy to do.
@@clymerscarport961 i think ill do it next summer, its too cold outside here in Canada.
@@DManfrommanila Let me know how it goes... 👍
it would have been better if you ran water thru the filter to see what it looks like without the oil on it too
