How to change ATF fluid in 1995 Accord V6

[mariano]

Hello, my name is Mariano, I am from Argentina, I want to change the atf fluid in my 1995 Accord V6 (C27 engine). I do not know where to add the new fluid. there is a plug that said ATF in the top of the transmission. I have to fill with fluid there? or I have to fill with fluid through the dipstick tube? I hope you can help me. I can not locate an online information. thanks

I was an owner of a 2005 Accord EX-L I4 (RIP)
The ‘ATX’ plug (V6 only) is the transmission fill hole, but either way you are safe using the dipstick. For comparison, my 4-cylinder Accord didn’t have the plug, and procedure called for filling through the dip stick.

It’s recommended you use Honda AT fluid, apparently these transmissions get finicky using any other brand. Careful with the drain bolt washer, mine started to leak after too many uses (I have no one to blame but myself).

Not all of the fluid will drain out, so be careful not to over-fill and measure what comes out. Normal procedure I suppose, but I almost forgot one time.

I was absolutely blown away at how relatively simplistic preventive maintenance is on these cars.
