What to do if you overfill transmission fluid in a Honda odyssey van?
Drain it out
You drain some out.
If you don't want to drop the transmission pan you will have to buy or rent a fluid pump to remove the excess.
Drain it. Not hard depending on the year using a 3/8 ratchet placed into the transmission drain plug remove the plug and normally about 4 quarts of fluid will be removed. If you didn't add to much to it you can drive it for a bit a few days to allow the new fluid to enter the torque converter and the cooler. Thus the old fluid will be in the pan. Honda recommends you do a three times drain and fill every 36k miles or so. Basically the process you have done almost so far. You don't flush Honda transmissions just drain fill with new drive then drain fill drive drain and fill by the third fill you should only really see a pretty red color or maybe a bit darker than new some may go as far as four fills but a 6 bucks a quart and 25 bucks a drain and fill it may be over kill. So go buy four quarts of fluid and start the process.
- I just pulled into the parking lot at work and when I got off my van I noticed I had more space to back up so I tried to turn on my van and? It was dead. I checked the ports and everything looked good. The battery is new. What can it be? I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL
- 2006 Honda Odyssey windshield washer fluid not spraying? Sprayers are not spraying in the front or the rear. One pump runs both ends. I can hear the pump kick on. Pulled a hose off one side of the pump and had someone activate the pump. Pump sprays without the hose hooked up. I don't see any krimped areas in the hose that I can see (front sprayers). Any ideas? Could the pump just be too week to spray through the hoses? Ps I unplugged a hose under the hood and still no fluid.
- 2000 rear brakes on odyssey van knock when braking? I recently changed the rear drum brakes with new shoes and drums on my 2000 Honda Odyssey Van and now they knock when I apply the brakes. The noise matches the rotational speed of the tires as if something is on the tires.
- What happens if i overfill oil in my 2002 Honda CRV? I overfilled the vehicle by about 9-10 qts. Yes I'm an idiot sometimes and move too fast without thinking. I turned the vehicle on and drove maybe 20 yards. It started blowing white smoke from the exhaust. I immediately turned the vehicle off and got out. I understand I need to drain the excess oil out but did I do any permanent damage?
