Sorry I wasn't specific.

About how many quarts drain out? I see the plug, so that's easy. Are the steps??

Drain what's in the pan >> refil >> run a few minutes to flush the fluid in the tranny(how many minutes??) >> drain >> refill

Is that the right way??

I have honda ATF-Z from the dealer.

Thanks again.

I think the recommendation is three or four cycles of drain refill. Try doing a search for more info.

if you want to know the amount it drains, RTFM

it's either 2.7 or 2.9.

1. lift car up on all fours so it's even
2. remove bolt in the engine bay labeled ATF
3. remove bolt from the bottom of the tranny.....let it drain.
4. clean lower bolt area, put bolt back on
5. refill with 2.7 or 2.9 qt
10. put ATF bolt back on.
15. have fun

now this is the instrctions to do a basic fluid refill.

a full flush has many many more steps and requires alot more ATF fluid

The correct FLUSH procedure per "JENS and Acura Service" is to 1) drain; /then put in two qts, run 3-5 minutes, shift between reverse and drive; yes keep your foot on the BRAKE

2) repeat "1" three times, final fill is 2.75 qt. The fill plug is on top of the trans and is marked "ATF"; makes this job easy.

I did it in 1 hr and the 9 qts of oil cost me around $48. Remember use only "Honda Z1" ATF. I contacted a synthetic oil company (Amsoil) and their engineering dept said use only HONDA ATF. Good enough for me considering they invented synthetic oil for autos.
