Tutorial: How to change transmission fluid in a 2003 Honda Pilot

[AmbassadorRoc]

What kind of fluid are you using???? Or recommend?

[nukem384]

@AmbassadorRoc genuine honda fluid, always

[nukem384]

@area859 this will work on the 03-07 pilot for sure. there are different ways to fill the tranny, i just find the dip stick hole the easiest

[Nasty614Nate]

@nukem384 there is a trans. filter it's aprox. $25 and take about a half hour to change

[lexusfan100]

how much did u fill up

[kylesuchaloser]

dude u just saved me 75 dollars if the dealership did it,thanks and i'd never drove a foriegn car before so the location threw me and how to drain it,and the shit was so simple thanks for saving me money.

[gweedo7706]

why didn't u uae the fill hole

[littleAZN248]

can i use royal purple ATF in my MDX?

[wootness3000]

The trans fluid coming out of there looked nasty.

[DtoWnSux1]

since my manual 2003 element doesnt have a torque converter. SHOULD i just do the fluid change one time or should i repeat 3times every hundred or so miles to clean it out b/c its gone 130k miles WITHOUT transmission fluid drain/fill. please let me know

[nukem384]

@DtoWnSux1 id go for the repeat 3 times since your oil must be superrrr dirty over 130k

[DtoWnSux1]

@nukem384 u think doing this will cause trany to start slipping? or is that just if u flush it or drove it really rough?

[nukem384]

@DtoWnSux1 changing your fluid a few times within a few hundred miles isnt going to cause your tranny to slip. youre in a way basically just wasting fluid, but not since its so dirty from not being changed in forever

[cavemanjoe79]

Is that an automatic transmission? Is there a filter?

[nukem384]

@cavemanjoe79 yes auto. and no filter.

[LerdoBurgerPimp]

4 qts?

The honda guy told me it would need only 3 qts.

i got an 09 pilot 4x4

[nukem384]

@LerdoBurgerPimp since your pilot is a different gen, its possible. id buy 4 and keep checking the dip stick, you can always return the unused qt if necessary

[LerdoBurgerPimp]

@nukem384 sweet, thanks bro have a good wekend.

[LerdoBurgerPimp]

@nukem384 Yes it took 4 qts of transmission fluid. Your vid inspired me, next i will do the diff thanks bro XD

[stigmatic79]

Is that the same for a 97 chrysler sebring 2door hardtop v6? do i just add it straight threw the dipstick hole?? please respond..

[Diabloscampeones9]

how many quarts of oil did you end up using?

[nukem384]

@Diabloscampeones9 4 qts will do

[mikeylee2001]

Man that old oil was dirty. How many miles did the car have?

[nukem384]

@mikeylee2001 actually only 30k. the tranny fluid gets dirty fast.

[great132]

how u know if its full ...

[nukem384]

@great132 check your dip stick

[78datsunz]

Did you have jack the car up to access the drain bolt?

[nukem384]

@78datsunz you dont have to, but it def will make it a lot easier.

[salinabear]

ahh you make it look so easy

[nukem384]

@salinabear im just pro like that, haha jk, thanks!
