Ive always had a 1/2 to one extra quart in the transmission, never had a problem
Thanks for the informative video 👍🏻👍🏻, really helps a ton as a DIYer.
My pleasure! I’m glad to hear that you like the video 😁👍
As always, great content!
Thank you - I appreciate the support 😁👍
Thanks for the information
My pleasure! Thank you for the support.
Thanks Chad for showing this! My '19 2.0T touring just passed 30k miles and I have been thinking it might be time to do this.
👍
Also wanted to share. You canuse the 'drive up' style of ramps. However would not recommend if you arenot stock height. I drove up the front on ramps, jack in the back to make it level height as possible. Can't remember the part number off the top of my head but always grab some of the additional inderbody pan clips as well on hand. The shop that changed didn't put them back on and I had 2 missing. It's better to do it then while youre inder there verusu having to go back out and purchase them later.
If using a siphon style pump to put the fluid in, I highly recommend putting the atf bottle in a clean bowl. Knocked one over while I was filling and got ATF on me, the driveway, and lsot track of how much fluid. Ended up having to grab a extra bottle over this minor step.. $extra 10 later
Your videos are great . Give us more content on your Accord!! Do you plan on running a time with Methanol?
Thank you for the support. 👍. Methanol is definitely a consideration 🤔
Can we please get some highway pulls. Just wanted to see what the acceleration is like.
Do transmission have filters? If so should i change it every time i change the fluid ?
thanks for the video. I have a low profile long range floor jack as well as 4 - jack stand. How do I go about getting tge car on all 4 jack stand? The center jack point is deep in the car.
I start by driving the front two wheels of my car on to four 2X6s, two under each wheel, with the ends staggered so the car only has to go up on 2X6 at a time. This raises the car up enough to get my floor jack under the front. Then jack up the front and put your jack stands under at their lowest height. Then jack up the rear. The rear jack point is in the middle of the car right where a trailer hitch would be, if there was one. Jack up the car and put the rear jack stands at the height you want them. Then go back to the front and lift it up so the heights of the jack stands match all around. It's time consuming to lift the front twice, but your car will slide around on the jack stands and could slip off if the angles are too great. To remove the jack stands I follow the same steps in reverse. Always lowering the front in two stages. Don't forget to have your 2X6 ramps in place when lowering the car to the ground, so you can get the jack out :)
Funny I just changed my oil and was thinking of doing the transmission fluid but don’t know how to. This will help me big time. Thanks
No problem! Glad it will help 😁👍
@@TheLemonFactor how often should I change it?
@@christianpadilla4406 if you drive it hard, every 20k is what I do
@Christian Padilla - if you’re always pushing your car, taking it to redline, seeing the track, etc - aggressive driving, then I would change it every 20k miles. If you’re not, then I’d recommend every 40k, but certainly no longer than what the Honda maintenance minder indicates.
@@TheLemonFactor perfect thanks again
My local Honda mechanic does these did 120-140$. Worth the money
Which county
All 5 honda near me are all 425 to 500, time to do it myself for 95.00, sucks though.
Same here. Southwest Florida Honda dealers want $400-$425. Idk anyone who'd do it for $120.
@@landscapemessiah4817right I’m here in SC it’s 300 here
Same 12qt complete exchange is $320. Also worth it.
Thank you very much for this! Where did you get the procedure for this? I have been unable to find any service manual for the newer Hondas.
My pleasure! I’m glad you found it helpful 👍
Hello Chad can you do a video looking at you intake values to see if there is a carbon build up. It 20k miles and you have done decent amount of modification to the powertrain. I don't think there is a lot of content about the 10th gen 2.0 values since this is a direct injection only engine.
I think that’s a good idea, but but maybe a bit premature at my mileage 🤷♂️. It’s definitely a future video 👍
will a CVT transmission oil work on my 2019 honda accord 1.5L turbo ex? or does it need to say ATF 2.0 on it?
Im curious in all my life owning cars ive never did a flush. Its always drain and fill. You go in for a flush and come out with a $450 receipt.
Do these transmissions get the ATF type 2.0 oil from factory?
Hi Chad, Thanks for another informative video.
I clicked on the link for the tubing in the description. Which diameter is the right one?
My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful. As far as the tubing size it may vary depending on how your rigging up the gravity feed from your funnel to the fill opening. With that said, I believe I used 1/2” ID.
Nice job 👏 that should help alot of people, in the.. fast paced quantity field where I've drained hundreds of 10 speeds.. and alot were done by mistake at 30k miles, I'm unsure of you're mileage but your fluid looked identical to 30k mile fluid that has been driven by Ms daisy. Also the amount of metal on the magnet is actually less than alot that I've seen. Is say slightly less than normal, maybe the mileage interval in which you are at would explain that. Also the fil/check method you used is correct, however we do it entirely different but we don't need to get into that 😆 4.4qts is correct fill after around 5mins of draining.. but depending on how long you let it drain.. it could take up to 5.3qts.. but that's abnormal and we don't need to get into that
That's, "Mr. Daisy" to you ; )
@@TheLemonFactor 🤣 🤣
My fluid and magnet looked similar at 47.5K. I was pleasantly surprise an the lack of sparkly stuff.
👍
what mileage should it be changed at?
My dealer here in Michigan changed me $121 for the A10 drain and fill.
Id pay that.....
does the roughly 5 quarts of capacity include the torque converter? Have you checked to see if there is a filter for the transmission fluid?
There is a filter but it’s inside you can’t access it unless you take apart the transmission.
The roughly 4.5 quarts is just what will drain out. Overhaul capacity is nearly twice that much.
Does the 2018-2022 2.0t have a transmission filter, ive only seen the cvts no 10spds.
I have this same question did you find the answer, I’ll look on all data today and come back
Interesting video. Thank you! But what about filter?
There isn’t a disposable filter that you change. There is a screen that is within the transmission, but servicing that is not a part of a transmission change.
There actually is a lube filter behind the AT warmer & it has 3 o rings.
Is there a crush washer for all 3 bolts?
You mentioned replacing the washers for the drain and fill plugs. Any specific type or is there a Honda specific parts number?
Checkout the links in the description 👍
Hey unrelated question but how do you go about dynoing these cars? I did thr pedal dance and it won't come out of second. Do you have to have ktuner pulled up on a laptop to put it into a dyno mode? Any advice?
On a dyno rn lol
Send me an email directly and I’ll provide you with the details 👍
Great vid! So how do you replace the trans filter? Should that be replaced at the time of trans drain? Can you get to the trans filter??
If it is like the RDX 10-speed, there is a serviceable filter which is accessed by removing the ATF warmer (seen in the video, square box just above the fill bolt. I have not yet been able to get a "professional" opinion as to when, if ever, it should be replaced. I'm thinking that every other ATF drain/fill would be good.
I was thinking that too. It would be useful information to know
Yes, behind the ATF warmer is a lube filter with 3 o rings.
Staten island NY honda service charge for this about 260$
Any word on doing the filter?
Hey I was interested to know if you change the filter(the external one).
There isn’t a traditional filter that you would change. Instead it has a screen that doesn’t require servicing as part of a flush.
Does anyone know the transmission 17mm filler bolt threads specs not shure if it’s 12mmx1.25 .
I was going to drain and fill mine at 50k but the MM came on at 45k so I think going forward I will drain & fill my transmission fluid every 30k. Honda makes this so easy it makes no sense to pay big to have a garage or dealer do it.
Exactly 👍
Is this the same 10 speed transmission in the new MDX?
What’s the wheel setup like the size and width on your accord(don’t know a lot about rim and tire sizes)

There's a shortage of atf 2.0 at the dealerships. Does anybody know why that is?
I have 2022 2.0 sport how many quarts is needed for a complete transmission change? I’m confused with the initial fill and complete fill on Amsoil website
I mention how many qts in the video. 👍 Not sure what you’re referring to regarding Amsoil 🤷♂️
I have a 2022 Accord 2.0T. I have changed my oil twice, but I'm not sure if I want to tackle this transmission. I wish Honda had installed a dipstick and fill tube.
It’s really not that difficult 🤷♂️.
@@TheLemonFactor I understand, but I don't have a level driveway or four jack stands. I do know someone with a two post lift. I may rent the space for a level lift. Thanks for the video.
Got it 👍. You definitely need it to be level.
Do u check the check plug with the car off or on after letting it warm up and running through the gears?
Off.
1000 miles too late ☹️ I paid the $300 😢 but thanks to you they won’t get me again! 😏
Next time 😉
2018 2.0 accord sitting at 72k miles no trans fluid done yet 0 mechanical problems I had an appointment set for today where they quoted me 199 on the phone when i arrive they tell me it’s close to 400 so i only paid $70 dollars for the oil and hopefully getting job done tmr
😮
After you drain trans fluid, you should change the filter
There is not a disposable/replaceable filter to change as part of the ATF change. There is a screen, but it is not disposable and not easily serviced and would not be part of a fluid “change”.
Where did you get your grill? I’m trying to find a high quality one and not the eBay/amazon type
It’s an OEM black chrome, optional accessory. You can purchase these from your local dealership, or online from a company such as College Hills Honda 👍
You just stick the hose in the fill hole?
The hardest part is finding the bolt, and reaching it with a hose, can you show how you did thT
It’s really not hard, that’s why I didn’t show it. The hose goes down from the area to the right of the downpipe and the fill hole is right there 🤷♂️
I changed the fluid on my 2018 after a service notification appeared at 47.5K miles. I would say I drive on the aggressive side of normal. The dealer wanted over $500.
😮. That’s crazy!
@@TheLemonFactor Thanks for giving me the peace of mind I did it correctly. You are incredible at what you do.
Those prices are absolutely ridiculous. I don't have the turbo charged honda but do have the 2015 v6 accord with the normal gasoline aspirated engine and it only cost a little over 100 dollars to change transmission fluid in it. I just had transmission flush on my 2018 toyota camry and that cost was 374 dollars including tax. Outrageous!!!!
It’s crazy how much some dealerships charge for some services 🤨
0:13 thank God i don't have this kind of problem, right Chad ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
Some of us are lucky enough 👍
Can i substitute Valvoline ATF for my 2.0 ??
Honda has specific specifications for the ATF. If it meets those specs, I don’t see why not, but really, why would you 🤔🤷♂️. I’d stick with the Honda ATF 👍
Have you tried any other fluid than what Honda says I was thiking Valvoline atf
I have not. I would recommend using the OEM ATF fluid as it was made specifically for the Honda Accord transmission 👍
@@TheLemonFactor would it be a SAFE alternative do you think?
I would not recommend it.
Wheels? Tires??
anyone know the size of the screws and twist pins for the belly pan/ under shield he removed ? around 3:16
Just curious why you're asking? Did you lose some and you need to replace them?
@@TheLemonFactor yeah removed the piece to do my oil change at a friends house and they got lost between some rocks....
Ahggg,… sorry to hear that. You can purchase new ones from your local Honda dealer, or go online and purchase from College Hills Honda - they’ve always been very helpful when speaking with them 👍
I have 53k miles on my Honda accord, should I change my transmission fluid?? I am fbo with a type r turbo.
At 53k miles… I would 👍
@@TheLemonFactor thank you, will get it ordered now.
This is awesome, you should do a video on the injector valve cleaning, have not found a good video for that for this platform.
Hopefully I won’t be doing any valve cleaning for sometime 😉
This is the same Trans as the Acura TLX type s, Acura MDX type s and Honda Odyssey??
It is a different transmission from the Type S. I don’t know about the other two.
@@TheLemonFactor are you sure? I'm doing my fluids on my 10 speed MDX type s and the lay out looks exactly the same to me.
Sorry, my reference to the Type S was in relation to the TLX which has strengthened internals. I don’t know about the MDX or Odyssey
@@TheLemonFactor Thank you! Looking at my transmission the fill, level and drain bolts are in the exact same spot. The process in your video seems to be identical on all new honda 10 speeds.
👍
did you do the filter as well?
You can't do the filter. You'd have to dissamble the transmission.
@@sapphir8 the filter sits behind the transmissions cooler/ warmer
Very informative! So is the transmission flush a scam by dealerships? They wanted $250+ because they wanted to use 12 quarts of oil.
They had a drain and fill for under 100, is that worth it?
A transmission change is what you see in this video, a transmission flush is much more involved.
@@TheLemonFactor what do you recommend we do
A flush or change?
I won't put my summer tires on until May. 😂
Probably a wise decision! Hey, the 80 degree weather we've had this past week got me too excited - guess I won't be taking the Accord out in the snow today.
Global warming is making that earlier and earlier 😅
@@TheLemonFactor It's melting pretty fast. Last week's weather could fool you.
It is, but you never know here in Colorado 🤷♂️
Is this a CVT transmission?
This is the 10 speed auto transmission 👍
I was charged 177.00 in Houston texas at a Honda dealership in Tomball Texas’s they overcharged me.? 😳😲🙄😲🤮
If it makes you feel any better that’s not that bad compared to what others have paid 🤷♂️🫤
Whats ur current Mileage?
I mention it in the video 👍
@@TheLemonFactor got you 20k mileage 😅 sorry i kinda missed that part and also what type of oil do you use when changing the oil? Im current have prl intake, prl flex fuel, prl intercooler, prl intake and rv6 downpipe, with stock turbo, do u recommend to use oem oil or need to switch to 5w30?
No problem. I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum motor oil. I have found it to be a great choice based on independent testing results, and my own history of use and oil testing 👍
Wanted to see you fill up and where you filled it.
It’s shown in the video where the hose is inserted in the fill hole - take a look.
Wow those quotes are ridiculous. I had the dealer change mine in my 2.0 for ~150.
That’s a pretty good deal 👍. Were are you located?
@@TheLemonFactor that’s what I expected to pay after doing some research on the Drive Accord forums. I’m in North Alabama
👍
Had mine mine done at the dealer a few months ago at just under 33k. $189 plus 20% off service special. I live in Northern Va.
No transmission filter on these transmission s?
There isn’t a disposable filter for you to change.
