How many kilometers should the transmission fluid be changed for the Elysion?

The automatic transmission fluid for the Honda Elysion should be changed every 40,000 kilometers, while the manual transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. Manual fluid change requires 4-6L, and machine circulation change requires 9-12L. The methods for changing the transmission fluid for the Honda Elysion are as follows: 1. Gravity Drain: Similar to the principle of changing engine oil. Loosen the bottom nut of the transmission fluid pan to allow the old fluid to drain out naturally by gravity. This is the most common and easiest method, but it cannot completely drain the old fluid. In the grooves and recesses of the machinery, the transmission fluid often cannot be fully removed. 2. Machine Circulation Change: New transmission fluid is added to the circulation machine, and the machine's pipes are connected to the transmission's fluid lines. The machine's function is to push out the old fluid with the new fluid, achieving a complete replacement. This method cleans the fluid lines more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid used in the circulation machine, the cleaner the old fluid will be drained. A machine circulation change typically uses about 10-15L of fluid. This method takes longer, usually around 1 hour. 3. Oil Pan Removal and Fluid Change: This method involves a thorough replacement and cleaning from the root, and it can also address dirty oil filters. Removing the oil pan is a significant task, and the corresponding labor cost will be higher.

I've been driving the Honda Elysion for several years now, and generally speaking, it's advisable to change the automatic transmission fluid approximately every 40,000 kilometers—this is tried-and-true advice. Through years of driving, I've found that delaying fluid changes can lead to transmission issues, such as jerky gear shifts or unusual noises. The Elysion is an MPV, often used for family outings, and frequent stop-and-go traffic accelerates fluid oxidation and degradation. The manual might suggest a range of 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, but I prefer changing it at 40,000, while also checking the fluid's color—if it turns black or emits a burnt smell, it's definitely time for a change. Don't wait until a breakdown forces costly repairs. Regular maintenance not only saves money but also extends the car's lifespan, especially during long highway drives where smooth gear shifts are crucial for peace of mind.

I drive the Elysion daily for commuting and change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers. This schedule is because city driving consumes too much fuel, with constant stopping and starting causing temperatures to soar, quickly contaminating the fluid. If I frequently drive on highways, I might delay it to 50,000 kilometers, but I believe changing it earlier is more cost-effective—the cost of fluid replacement is low, whereas delaying it could burn out the transmission, leading to much more expensive repairs. During maintenance, I also keep an eye on the condition of the fluid; if the color darkens, I act promptly. Additionally, a healthy transmission ensures safer driving, giving peace of mind when family rides along. In short, don’t take it lightly; proper maintenance is the wise choice.

When driving the Elysion, I insist on changing the transmission oil every 40,000 kilometers. It's simple—regular maintenance ensures smooth and safe gear shifts. Aged oil can cause jerking issues, especially during long-distance drives when sudden malfunctions are troublesome. I make it a habit to check according to the manual, saving money and ensuring peace of mind. Don’t overlook minor maintenance; it keeps the entire drivetrain running smoothly.
