Automatic Transmission Fluid change questions:
How much are they and could I get one at Jiffy Lube? I was recommended to get one the last time I got my car checked. How often should they be done? I'm not near my manual so I don't know. Do they affect gas mileage or is the dropping weather affecting my mileage?

Rep Power: 301 well..DIY! and only use Honda ATF!, i used castrol=CRAP! dont compromise. get Honda gen. ATF! all other is bad for you or your car. but get it lifted, find the bolt, remove, drain, refill, and roll... easy, but a lil time consuming.

Rep Power: 0 Yes its simple to drain and fill your atf go buy 3qts of honda atf, and do it yourself if you have all the right tools and if not just go to jiffy lube.
it wont affect anything that you menshoned.

Rep Power: 301 btw, average tranny flush is usually like 60K i think, but i do like 30 since fluid change isnt too hard. plus cleaner fluid is always better. you can never change too much i assume!
