I changed mine a couple weeks ago. I used the performance tool brand pump from O'Reilly's, it screwed right on the large top Honda bottles. (The ones in the video).
I drove on the highway for while to heat it up and when I opened the fill plug it was leaking out (it looked overfilled, it wasn't it was hot and expanded). I added about 1.4 to 1.5 quarts, to fill it, probably because the gearbox was hot and it expanded.
I probably need to top it off cold.
My fluid was pretty dirty, the gearbox is much quieter.
I bought the car used and have getting around to various items. The video was helpful, thanks for posting it.

I love your authenticity! I watch so many of these videos and think, wow, nothing will go wrong but it's cool to see you power through the challenges.

I fully agree with your comment on the crush washer....I also have never changed any washer in my life...and never had any problems thereafter :-O

Thank you so much for creating this guide! I followed your instructions step-by-step, and now my manual Fit shifts so smoothly. You've saved me so much time and frustration. Keep up the great work!

Very useful sir. Your surroundings are awesome.

Anyone in the UK don't buy one of those pumps, unfortunately we use a different thread system in the UK, best bet here is either a extended bendy long neck filler funnel or a squeeze bottle with some sort of line

That drain oil looked pretty clean. If you don't know how old it is, better to change it.

Well, Dave, your "shadetree" mechanics look a lot like mine. But, you got the job done and the Lord gave and forgave, and blessed and kept you.

previously i could not locate the nuts, i found this the most accurate, topographically

Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us. 😀👍

The fastener you pryed off is screwed on with a phillips screw. Just unscrew it and will come right off with no effort (and much less time). I think the dorman part number is 963-111d, but they are often in the back, they don't sell enough to be in the display.
They help with splashes and airflow. Nearly everyone owns a fit for the gas mileage so it's good to have them.

The wood should remain flat on the surface, use 2 to 3 to make a ramp of wood up to the metal ramp, there should be no daylight under the wood

[TheJackMarcin]

would you say there was any improvement in the shifting/ trans response after the oil change?

[tennesseehomesteader]
