100k service

[Stayxtrue]

Hey guys,

With this service, Honda advise it really should be done by them... But is this really necessary?? From what the manual says its fairly simple, other then checking to make sure everything else is in check.

Honda advised me it's 480 through them, when I can do it for a much cheaper price

Make sure you do your transmission fluid too

The manual says oil, oil filter and spark plugs. So a transmission fluid flush would need to be on the cards as well?? Honda didn't say tho would be a part of theirs =\

u should do a number of things and if there is no other choice than honda then i yeah, but if u can opt for someone you know is better then save money and buy more stuff to do for service e.g. trans oil, upper engine cleaner, airfilters. even a radiator flush might be dued

Cheers guys I might have a chat to a few mechanics around my area and see what I can find... I am over in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne

Transmission oil in Euros doesn't get changed til... WAIT FOR IT 120,xxxkms. Yes that's at least 10 years of the same OIL in that poor transmission - get it done ASAP
Quiz Honda about the regular ATF/MTF oil changes and thay say 'follow the book'
But after the late 90's Honda started having transmission problems
Sorry TL;DR

[MR_LATE]

had mine change at 60 free of charge by dealer

I drop my auto transmission fluid at 9 months old at 20,000 km on the clock. It was black and alot of metal debris stuck to the magnet. Note its not even 12 months old!!
The Honda DW1 is only $58.00 for 4 litres cheap insurance (I flush it 2 times) and dead easy to flush!!

Dont forget the $64 tranny filter

[BigBen]

Yeah, good point, I'll change it at my next oil change (I've back ordered the part). They didn't have the filter in stock when I was getting the trans fluid.
I should have taken a picture of the old trans fluid and the magnet. I thought it would be still red in colour at that low 20,000km point. But it was black as black coffee and was really surprise.

I suppose its doing its job, just change it more often as its cheaper than a tranny rebuild.
