How often should the transmission fluid of the Fit be changed?
1 Answers
The Fit is a compact car under Honda. Its automatic transmission fluid should be changed every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, whichever comes first; the manual transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. Manual fluid change requires 4-6L, while a machine flush requires 9-12L. The methods for changing the Fit's transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Gravity Drain: The method and principle are the same as changing engine oil. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission oil pan, and let the old transmission fluid flow out naturally by gravity. 2. Machine Flush: Store the new transmission fluid in the flushing machine, connect the machine to the transmission's fluid circuit, and under hydraulic pressure, the new fluid will push out the old fluid. This method cleans the fluid circuit more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid is used, the cleaner the fluid circuit becomes. 3. Oil Pan Removal: This method cleans from the source, achieving a more thorough cleaning, and allows for the cleaning of the transmission fluid filter as well.
