Honda Accord

1. Replacement of ATF has to be made on a regular basis, according to the schedule of routine maintenance of the car.
2. Prepare fresh transmission liquid of the corresponding grade.
3. Treat number of other necessary tools and materials: props for fixing of the car in the lifted situation, the ratchet drive on 3/8 inches (with the extender) to a face key, the drain capacity not less than 5 l and a stock of rags and/or old newspapers.
4. Liquid had to merge is previously heated-up up to the normal working temperature during a short trip. Hot ATF has higher fluidity and better washes away slime and other deposits.

Working temperature of ATF can reach 180 °C! Be careful, work in rubber gloves.

5. Having made a short trip and warming up of ATF up to the normal working temperature, park the car on the flat horizontal platform with a hard coating, and establish to its poddomkratta on props, having provided free access to a drain stopper of a case of transmission.
6. Bring the drain capacity and all necessary stock under a transmission case. Try not to touch the warmed components of the power unit and system of production of the fulfilled gases located under the car bottom.

7. Having placed properly a reception container, turn out a drain stopper (on 4-cylinder engines it is located on the right below on AT case, on V6 engines - at the left below). The reversing of a stopper is carried out by means of the ratchet drive and the extender. Do not forget what at the first moment of ATF will begin to follow with a relative pressure which, in process of decrease of level of liquid, will gradually decrease, - be ready to correct as appropriate the provision of drain capacity in time. When the liquid effluence completely stops, wipe a drain stopper, screw it on the regular place and strongly tighten.

8. Lower the car on the earth.
9. Without starting the engine, take the measuring probe (4-cylinder engines) from a transmission case or turn out a jellied bolt with ATF mark, - on V6 engines). Through the released opening fill in necessary amount of fresh liquid of the required grade (see Specifications). For the purpose of minimization of losses of ATF use a funnel. Fill in liquid in the small portions, periodically checking its level on the probe (see the Section Check of the ATF AT Level). Do pauses, allowing the filled-in liquid to flow down on a pallet bottom.
10. Install into place the measuring probe / screw a jellied bolt.
11. Start the engine, then slowly carry out the selector lever through all provisions, having finished in situation "P" then cock the parking brake.
12. Kill the engine and check the ATF level. In case of need make the corresponding adjustment (level of liquid has to be approximately in the middle the site of an edge of the probe covered with notches).
