![]() The magnet takes hold of those shavings and prevents them from circulating, and doing damage to other internal components, or clogging the small internal fluid passages in the valve body.Īnd here’s the problem. The magnet at the bottom of the transmission collects all the metal shavings that are worn off the gears, clutches and bearings. And that’s probably the most important part of this required maintenance. They also recommend that at each fluid change, you clean off a magnet that’s attached to the drain plug. ![]() Here’s why: Honda is unique in that they recommend a transmission fluid change at only 30,000 miles. I rest my case, even though I just disgusted myself.īut actually - and unusually - on this car, I would use both methods. If you found it half full of cold coffee on a Monday morning, would you just add half a cup of new coffee? Or would you pour it out and add all new fluid. Imagine we were talking about your coffee cup at work. ![]() It’s better to change all of the fluid than some of the fluid. You hook it up to the transmission cooler lines - one going in and one going out - you add the correct amount of new fluid to the machine’s reservoir, then you start the engine and the machine pulls out all the old fluid and replaces every bit of it with new fluid.Īnd, generally speaking, you’re right, Allan. Well, for most transmission fluid changes, the machine works great. That much junk, after 30,000 miles? I will probably go to a shop that uses the “full change” method, but am curious what you think. The dealership said that was not a good idea because junk in the transmission could clog the lines. I asked about the shops that have a machine that hooks into the transmission line and pumps all the old fluid out and new fluid in. A partial change is like doing a half oil change on your engine. The Honda dealership says that they only change a portion of the fluid, for whatever reason At somewhere around 30,000 miles, my owner’s manual says I will need to change the transmission fluid. ![]() See our Honda dealer special offers and incentives or apply online today.I have a 2019 Honda Odyssey.
