@nukem384 sweet, thanks bro have a good wekend.

nukem384 says:

@great132 check your dip stick

gweedo7706 says:

why didn’t u uae the fill hole

eric edic says:

short and simple! Thanks

DtoWnSux1 says:

since my manual 2003 element doesnt have a torque converter. SHOULD i just
do the fluid change one time or should i repeat 3times every hundred or so
miles to clean it out b/c its gone 130k miles WITHOUT transmission fluid
drain/fill. please let me know

nukem384 says:

@AmbassadorRoc genuine honda fluid, always

great132 says:

how u know if its full …

ChubbyJeff says:

Thank you for this video. The turkey baster tube tip is a must as this
dipstick opening is smaller than my smallest automotive funnel. It does
make the refill of fluid slow going, but effective.

nukem384 says:

@LerdoBurgerPimp since your pilot is a different gen, its possible. id buy
4 and keep checking the dip stick, you can always return the unused qt if
necessary

nukem384 says:

@DtoWnSux1 changing your fluid a few times within a few hundred miles isnt
going to cause your tranny to slip. youre in a way basically just wasting
fluid, but not since its so dirty from not being changed in forever

nukem384 says:

@salinabear im just pro like that, haha jk, thanks!

reaganfelixjf says:

how many qt trasmission fluid do I put in my honda pilot 2004?

littleAZN248 says:

can i use royal purple ATF in my MDX?

Brandon Sanders says:

Is your Pilot a 4WD? Good video.

LerdoBurgerPimp says:

4 qts? The honda guy told me it would need only 3 qts. i got an 09 pilot
4×4

DtoWnSux1 says:

@nukem384 u think doing this will cause trany to start slipping? or is that
just if u flush it or drove it really rough?

nukem384 says:

@cavemanjoe79 yes auto. and no filter.

nukem384 says:

@DtoWnSux1 id go for the repeat 3 times since your oil must be superrrr
dirty over 130k

LerdoBurgerPimp says:

@nukem384 Yes it took 4 qts of transmission fluid. Your vid inspired me,
next i will do the diff thanks bro XD

csaeteurn says:

hey nukem I can’t find z1 anymore, am I able to use atf dw1 for my 04
pilot? thanks

Salina Siu says:

ahh you make it look so easy

Tam Bui says:

Did you have jack the car up to access the drain bolt?

nukem384 says:

@area859 this will work on the 03-07 pilot for sure. there are different
ways to fill the tranny, i just find the dip stick hole the easiest

Sergio Achard says:

Really? We never learned how to set the car in park, change gasket, filter
and test the gears to make sure everything was done properly and later on
regret oil leaks under the car…you must be one of those who believe in 99
cents lesson on a DVD to learn something.

Diabloscampeones9 says:

how many quarts of oil did you end up using?

Kenneth Millsaps says:

Does a filter need changing also?

nukem384 says:

yep totally fine. the dw1 is a newer version of the z1, better formulated

nukem384 says:

@mikeylee2001 actually only 30k. the tranny fluid gets dirty fast.

wootness3000 says:

The trans fluid coming out of there looked nasty.

nukem384 says:

@Diabloscampeones9 4 qts will do
