Oh man. If you have auto tranny, I would do it every 15k miles. Manual tranny can wait longer. Get yours changes asap. The book says to wait until 30k, but that's too long.

15K max regardless of what kind it is. Honda MTF is only $3.89 a quart and I can't see the ATF being much more. Its cheap upkeep that goes a long way.

Oh, and make sure to use Honda ATF...anything else and you will hit your head on the steering wheel anytime the tranny shifts...
