Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2005accord trans fluid change
I drained the fluid and was only able to get 2.5 quarts out. What is the total fluid in the transaxle and should I change it again. 98 v-6 110 k 20 k since last change at dealer. > I drained the fluid and was only able to get 2.5 quarts out.

I'm assuming you mean an automatic since the V6 only came with an automatic back then. Most Honda automatics drain between 2.5 and 3.5 quarts, with the majority of the fluid remaining in the torque converter. I'm guessing the total fluid is somewhere between 5.5 and 7 quarts, although the value should be listed in your owner's manual. > I drained the fluid and was only able to get 2.5 quarts out.

If you wanted to get the majority of the fluid out, you should have bought a Nissan, at least in the Maxima veriety. Much easier! With a Honda (which is more typical), I'd change the fluid again, or at least keep it on a scheduled change once in a while along with the engine oil. If it was just changed 20k ago it's probably just fine, unless you've pounded it with stop-and-go in a high temp climate.

When I was changing the ATF in my '89 Integra, I'd just do it every 15K miles to be safe. Of course I neglected it for a while, but eventually figured out that ATF changes were ridiculously simple and worth doing more often. It was still shifting like new at 100K miles, which was actually rather crappy (but that's another story). I don't know of many automatic trannies where most of the fluid is drained out in a typical change - even ones where the pan is dropped. I've heard of some cars with a drain plug on the torque converter. >>> I drained the fluid and was only able to get 2.5 quarts out.
