Honda Transmission Fluid Change 101

The transmission in your Honda vehicle is an essential part of the powertrain system. It regulates the power produced by the engine and evenly distributes it to the four wheels. When the engine’s revolutions per minute count, or RPM, increases, the transmission will move into a higher gear to accommodate.

And that’s where transmission fluid comes in. Transmission fluid allows your vehicle to move between the gears smoothly, without causing any grinding or damage. When the transmission fluid is low or old, the gear shifts are less smooth, which can cause lasting damage to your vehicle. That is why it’s important to schedule transmission fluid changes.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Transmission Fluid

You’ll want to get the transmission fluid in your Honda vehicle changed every 60,000-100,000 miles. That’s said, it’s also useful to know how to recognize signs of low or bad transmission fluid, including some of the following.

Gear Slips

Most modern vehicles have an automatic transmission, but if you notice that your vehicle is struggling to get up to speed or stay in gear, it may be an indication of transmission damage or low fluid.

You Hear Grinding Noises

The transmission fluid helps to regulate the hydraulic pressure of the transmission and ensures smooth movement between gears. When the fluid is low or old, it may cause the transmission to grind when shifting.

You See Leaks

Transmission leaks are a sign of damage to the transmission system and can make it dangerous to drive your vehicle, so they should be addressed as soon as possible.
