What transmission oil is used for Honda 5AT?
1 Answers
Honda 5AT uses Honda-specific transmission oil with the model number ATFDW-1. The vehicle requires regular transmission oil changes, as expired or deteriorated transmission oil can cause difficulty in shifting and wear on transmission bearings. The purpose of adding transmission oil is to ensure smooth gear shifting, lubricate internal transmission components, and prevent damage to the transmission during gear changes. The signs that indicate the need for transmission oil replacement are: vehicle shaking, jerky gear shifting; the dashboard showing a transmission overheating warning; the car stalling; and unusual noises. The methods for replacing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil before refilling. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the oil: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission oil: Dynamic oil replacement with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. The hazards of not replacing transmission oil for a long time include: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Affecting the normal operation of the transmission, leading to damage to the transmission valve body.
