How long will transmission fluid last on a Honda accord 1997 miles or months or years?
According to Honda, the automatic transaxle fluid (it's a front wheel drive car, so read that as automatic transmission fluid) should be replaced every 30,000 miles.
If you do an average of 30k miles a year then that means every 3 years. Strictly speaking, it should be every 3 years anyway, but if the ATF looks and smells normal and the tranny is operating normally then if the mileage hasn't reached 30k the ATF is still good and doesn't need changing. But definitely check the level and condition of the ATF at least every 3 years, regardless of mileage. As the car is now over 20 years old and transmission seals will be old and hardened, leaks are much more likely to occur.So personally I'd check the fluid levels and condition annually. It's not a difficult or time consuming job.
READ the owner's manual that came with the car. It will tell you how often you should change transmission fluid.
No owner's manual? BUY ONE and THEN read it!
It's a 20 year old car
It does not spoil. If the transmission does not slip or leak, the fluid could be good for 100,000 miles.
If you're talking about ATF change it every 60,000 miles or if it isn't red anymore.
Hi so transmission fluid has a life span like any lubricant.
You are supposed to change the fluid and filter every 5 years or 50000 miles.
It is the transmission that suffers.
Why not blow the dust of f the owners manual?
- Transmission fluid turned brown after 10k miles? I have a 2001 Honda Prelude auto and I was wondering how come my transmission fluid turned brown only after driving it for about 10k miles. The car currently has 84k miles on it and I'm hoping the tranny isn't going bad.
- How long will a car with 56k miles last me? My 2012 Honda has 56k miles and I've had it since it was at 19k. If I keep up with the maintenance and drive anywhere from 12-15k a year how long could it last?
- Can a 2013 Honda Fit last 20 years or 300k miles I want to save really lots of money so I'm not buying a new car for the next 15 years. My 2013 Honda Fit would be my workhorse till 2033.
- When should a 2012 Honda Civic need its transmission fluid changed, or serviced? The vehicle has 83,000 miles? Lots of highway driving for a three year old car. Drives perfectly, no problems, just trying to look ahead.
