I have a 2011 TSX with almost 130k miles on it. I recently bought the car and im not sure if the transmission fluid has ever been changed (5-speed auto). Is it still okay if I do a drain and fill? I checked the dipstick and its still clear and does not smell burnt at all. It smells like fluid. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks!

if you just bought the car and don't have any record that tells when the last fluid was replaced, i will drain and fill it, just for my record and its cheap to replace oil then face any transmission issues

Hey, just changed it and it smooth as butter.

How many bottles did it take for the drain/fill?

I bought 6 quarts. I drained/filled 2x and had no fluid left over, i would buy 4 quarts to be sure if youre doing it once. Its supposed to take 2.6 but it took about 3.

All you really need to do is drain the trans fluid and fill it through the dipstick tube. Drive it for about 5k miles and then do another drain and fill. This allows for the new and old fluid to mix so you're not just draining too much of the new fluid.
