How often should the Accord transmission fluid be changed?

[Sandra]

Accord transmission fluid should generally be replaced every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The Accord is equipped with Honda's self-developed CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which provides smoother gear shifts compared to conventional automatic transmissions without any noticeable jerking sensation. Symptoms indicating the need for transmission fluid replacement: Signs that the transmission fluid needs changing include vehicle shaking, gear shift hesitation, transmission overheating warnings on the dashboard, engine stalling, and unusual noises. Methods for replacing transmission fluid: Method 1: Drain the fluid by loosening the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission and then refill. Method 2: Remove the transmission oil pan completely for draining and refilling, which allows for a more thorough replacement by removing sediment from the pan. Method 3: Use a circulation machine for automatic transmission fluid replacement; this dynamic method filters and cleans sludge and impurities from the automatic transmission system.
