![]() Step 15: Insert funnel and slowly pour the new fluid from the clean bucket into the xmsn. Step 14: Clean area around the fill port so no debris gets in there when you cram the funnel in there. Step 13: Fill bucket up on scale and put in the amount you wrote down in Step 11, add a little bit to compensate for what will remain in the bucket/funnel (not much though!) Step 12: Dump old oil out and clean bucket. Step 11: Weigh bucket with oil in it, scale should zero out once you turn it on, if so subtract what the number is in step 1. You should be able to look down and see the fill port on the transmission. Step 8: Remove the front part of the air cleaner duct (2 plastic push fasteners). Step 7: Open Hood if not already open and remove the fascia/trim that is on top of the radiator by the hood release lever. Step 6: Remove drain plug completely, catching fluid in bucket. Step 5: Use hex socket to loosen drain plug, get ready with bucket. Step 4: Crawl under and remove drip pan, will be a mix of bolts and plastic push lock fasteners (have replacements handy, as they will self-destruct on removal). ![]() Step 2: Raise the Ody and make sure it is level, or as close as you can get. Step 1: Put piece of foil over the scale where bucket will sit, then place bucket on scale. ![]() Long funnel (18" long neck funnel $4 HFT) I haven't gotten the oil analysis on the xmsn fluid back yet, and I will post it when it comes in though.Īluminum foil (if you don't to get your scale all oily)ġ Drain plug, Honda P/N: 06237-5J4-010 (for 2018 EX-L) Not to hijack the thread but here is what I did, step by step. And with the engine running, I'm not sure whether the trans needs to be park or drive. It appears that the van needs to be level and the engine needs to be running while that level check is made. With the fluid at the specific temperature called for by the trans manufacturer, the fluid drips out of that hole and when at a slow drip, the level is correct. That middle plug is the fluid level indicator. But using only a single hole to gauge the fluid level, the temperature of the liquid needs to be specific.ģ) Also, why does he unplug the second drain near the CV boot ? Is that to ensure no overfill ? So just unplug that, wait for any excess to drip out, then replug ? That makes up the difference for the volume of the fluid in the trans or engine caused by temperature. When using a dipstick, there are hot and cold level lines on the stick. My take is that since the fill level drain plug is the only level check, the temperature of the fluid is important. When the dealer does it, the van is on a pneumatic lift so the van is level.Ģ) In the video, why is he taking a temp reading ? Never did that w my 07, not sure the purpose. I think that's important to get the correct fill level. In that video he does not discuss putting the van on four stands to make the van level. 1) This is the only video I found for the 2018:
