Honda Accord Transmission Oil Change Guide

The transmission oil in the Honda Accord is recommended to be changed every 60,000 kilometers.

When changing the oil, manual oil change requires about 4-6 liters, while using a flushing machine requires 9-12 liters.

When replacing the transmission oil, be sure to use dedicated transmission oil and adhere to regular change intervals.

Here are the methods for changing the transmission oil in the Honda Accord:

1. Gravity Replacement: This method is similar to changing engine oil. By loosening the nut, the transmission oil will flow out due to gravity. Although this method is simple, it cannot completely drain the oil due to dead corners inside the transmission;

2. Flushing Machine Replacement: New transmission oil is injected into the flushing machine, and old oil is pushed out by hydraulic pressure, achieving a more thorough cleaning. The more oil used, the better the cleaning effect, but the cost of flushing machine oil changes is relatively high, usually requiring 12 liters of oil and taking about 40-80 minutes;

3. Remove the Oil Pan and Replace: This method effectively cleans the oil filter and oil pan, but due to the labor-intensive disassembly process, it is not generally recommended by 4S shops.

Whether for manual or automatic transmissions, it is advisable to change the transmission oil every two years or 60,000 kilometers, especially for automatic transmissions that focus on maintenance, adherence to this cycle is essential.
