Honda (Layshaft/Manual-Style): Historically, Honda built automatic transmissions like manual gearboxes, utilizing layshafts and constantly meshed gears with internal clutches. This design creates more friction and shear, making the fluid work harder and accumulate debris faster. That's why you need to change the fluid more often compare to Toyotas. **If you are looking for instructions for the manual transmission - here is a photo from the service on the manual transmission - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jUlR...

If you have an old Acura and you're unsure whether you should service the transmission, check out this video by Ratchets And Wrenches    • When a Transmission Fluid Change or Flush ...   In this video I show you how I change the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) on my 2005 Acura TSX. It is critical to change the automatic transmission fluid at regular intervals to increase the life of the transmission. Do your 2 drain and refills about a week apart. I have never drained 3 quarts as listed in the manual. Its always been about 2.5 quarts with cold engine, and about 2.7 quarts with a warm engine. 1 Liter = 1.06 quarts Its important that you check your fluid level when the engine is warm. If you check it cold you will get a slightly different reading. The drain bolt washer size is M18 and can be aluminum or copper. With regards to the maintenance schedule, "mainly" under severe conditions I think means: mostly, more than half of the time, more than 50% of the time. This can be confusing. The manual states that if you meet one of the "severe" conditions only "occasionally" then you can use the normal driving condition schedule. The product links below are affiliate links.
