Is it hard to do an oil change on a 1992 honda prelude automatic transmission?
So i have an automatic 92 honda prelude. Its a 2.2l engine non vtech, and I've been wondering if i should do an oil change on the tranny. Main questions i have are, is it hard? Would i need to change the filter? Or simply just drain out the oil and add new oil in? Any help will be well appreciated. I want to do this on my own i don't want to spend over 100 dollars at an auto shop lol.
No, it is not hard, as NO HONDA TRANSMISSIONS HAVE SERVICEABLE FILTERS, nor do they have a "pan" to remove. Simply remove the drain plug, drain, and refill. (Honda automatics are basically automated manuals with a torque converter.). Note that you MUST use genuine Honda transmission fluid unless you want harsh shifts and poor overall performance.
Hondas DO NOT HAVE FILTERS THAT NEED CHANGED --- Yes, they do have a filter, but its a built in filter, which would require complete disassembly of the transmission.
You do not have to use Honda ATF -- You can use Maxlife for Hondas
Drain it via plug under it. Get 3 quarts (don't use all 3, but fill it back up)… Drive it awhile, repeat until you've gone through at least 9 quarts
You have to go to the auto parts store and get a filter and gasket kit and trans.
You have to go to the auto parts store and get a filter and gasket kit and trans. Fluid. It's a messy job. And don't get any on the paint because it removes paint. You check fluid level after moving the gear selector thru all the gears with the car on. The owners manual will tell you what type of fluid you need and how much

- Transmission going out on friend's 2004 Impala. Is it possible to install a manual transmission taken from a 1992 Honda Civic in this car? Not worth replacing trans on a car this old, but the engine and everything else are still perfect. My friend was able to get a free manual trans from a 1992 Honda Civic. But i'm not sure whether or not you can use a trans from a different vehicle
- Oil Change: Honda Motor Oil Vs Generic oil, does it make a difference? I have been getting oil changes with Honda motor oil for 15 years on my 2002 civic that now has 132K miles. If I switch to a generic $10 oil change garage shop will it still be ok? I know the Honda filters are better then the cheapest generic ones but how about the actual motor oil?
