That's exactly how I've been changing my Acura TLX 9 speed transmission fluid. I have 110 K miles on the car with no issues. Change the fluid every year.
Honda recommends using the fill plug in the middle of transmission case not the top one to fill and check for fluid level, and tighten plugs only 26 lb-ft not 36.
Good Job! And thanks for sharing. The 9 speed transmission has no dip stick to check the level or condition of transmission fluid. Do you have a recommendation after how many miles we supposed to change the fluid?
We were at 39k miles and had not yet got the alert to service it. Since we were heading where it’s hot figured it wouldn’t hurt and would enhance longevity. Thanks for watching
Dealer is quoting my wife $345 for a drain and fill on her 2019 Pilot Touring. I just can't justify that price for this 😂😂 I mean do you think the dealer would be completely draining the transmission, torque converter etc. causing the price to be so high? The service procedure from Honda is WAY more in depth than just a drain and fill according to the PDF I have for it. What I'm trying to get to is if it would be worth it to have the dealer do it and if theres an issue it be on them rather than myself? Not feeling the vibe of potentially having to replace a transmission if something goes wrong lol
The fluid is expensive per quart. My son in the video is a Honda tech. I’m not sure what the pdf says but I’m sure there is no complete drain and fill performed.
@@eddiesspeedgarage Pretty sure the dealer drives the car around back and lets it sit for a couple hours.. Then pulls it up front and collects their $350..
Shop labor!!!!! material is pricy also but not 3 to 4 hundred local shops are charging about the same as the dealer the only thing I'm seeing is the dealer does a level check which is a pain due to the steps and it has to be in a certain temperature range to do it which you cant tell the temp without an obd reader.

That's exactly what I was saying 😂
Thanks for the video! I’m going to use this for my odyssey.
Torque on those plugs is 26 foot pounds.
Same. I've see 27 foot pounds. Thought 36 was high as well.
Fr and rr diff are due every 15k 9 speed zf trans are due every 60k. This trans does not have a torque converter like the 6 speeds.
No overflow valve?
I think it's 26 ft pounds
Near the end where you reference replacing the fill plug you are actually saying drain plug instead. Just FYI for clarity. Thanks.
The crush washer should be replaced for both
Needs to be drained, filled, and level checked while the vehicle is sitting level, not front wheels way up on ramps.
We replaced what we took out. Measured the amount.
His driveway has a slope to it, it's level on those ramps, watch the video again...
Is the process the same for a 2017 Honda Pilot Touring which has a 9 speed tranny? I’m guessing the Pilot and Passport are the same for this, right?
Yes it’s the same
Good Job! And thanks for sharing. The 9 speed transmission has no dip stick to check the level or condition of transmission fluid. Do you have a recommendation after how many miles we supposed to change the fluid?
Roughly every 40k miles or less if you really want to take care of your vehicle
We were at 39k miles and had not yet got the alert to service it. Since we were heading where it’s hot figured it wouldn’t hurt and would enhance longevity. Thanks for watching
It has the fill plug uses to fill and check for level as the same on rear differential.
You don't need to put this in VSA maintenance mode to perform this service?
No
Do you actually need to replace the drain plug? It does have some sort of permanent seal already on it.
You will run the Risk of a leak doesn’t always happen, but it can
The transmission service came up on ours at 50000 miles
No just a scam by the stealership to nickel and dime ya

I am curious as to why Honda charges $300 plus for the 9 speed if anyone knows?
The fluid is expensive was close to $40 a quart at the dealer

That’s not how you do it you have to run through all the gears to check the fluid level
Not if you put back what you took out
