If I want to do a drain and fill, how many quarts of tranny fluids do I need ?

for an 03cls its 2.3 US qt of honda atf-z1

for the six speed its 2.3 of honda manual transmission fluid

 

3 qts.

If you're already on your remanufactured, updated unit, do a 3x drain/refill or a DIY Flush (drain/refill, disconnect both lines, start car and allow 3 qts to come out, refill, repeat) with a synthetic ATF such as Amsoil ATF or Specialty Formulations ATF-Z1 in attempt to prolong the life of the unit. The Honda ATF-Z1 turns brown very quickly, whereas these two do not seem to have the same problem. If you do a full flush with either of those fluids, a flush every 60K should be fine.

 

3 Qts For 2.2, 2.3 Auto. Use Genuine Honda/acura Atf.

 

3.1 qt

pick up 4 qts at acura, cost me like 22 and change, i use 3 full quarts and about 1/4 of the 4th one.

 

i just changed mine... did the drain and fill 2 times

my friend works at Honda dealership and hooked me up with some tranny fluid for $26.xx for 6 bottles

hopefully my original tranny will last for another few years
