Transmission drain and fill
I got a case of Honda ATF fluid to do the x3 drain
and fill today.
Well, upon taking the drain plug off the
transmission, 6.5 quarts is the amount that drained
out.
I added 6 quarts back (at the recommendation of
my Auto shop class instructor because 6 came out)
Ran it through the gears and drained again, almost
8 quarts came out the 2nd time.
Final fill we added only 3 quarts.
Why did 6.5 quarts come out when we first drained
it, when it only calls for 3.5-4 at most? Why did
almost 8 quarts come out the 2nd time?
The YouTube videos I've watched says 3.5-4 quarts
will come out and that's how much comes out, do
that x3.
My instructor wasn't sure why so much was in
there, other than the Honda dealer over filled the
transmission last August when I paid them to drain
and fill.
Any insights are greatly appreciated!
