fluids in our cars.....
 

i have 2001 a/t civic..... and i got my tranny swapped at 15k cause problems i guess they swapped the fluid as well. pretty much had to.


is their anyhting i shoulda done.. by now to it

like flush tranny fluid again?or spark plugs etc

ive never gone to honda for any scheduled maintenace cause they dont like me.. so i was j/w

riley

i just found i should prolly:

transmission fluid change,
radiator FLUSH
brake line FLUSH,
check sparks, uh....power steering


im guessing i just need to find someone trustworthy and have em do it... i dont know any florida places non francise that do that ish tho... my oil change place is like a scam

haha you are a noob!

im flushing my radiator and replacing my brake fluid in a month or so. I have a 2002, and to date, it's had nothing but oil changes done.

edit: by me of course (to avoid mockery from mods such as robbclark :giggle: )

how many miles u got skip?

hey robbclark if ur gonna laugh then come teach me how to do it

Honestly...I dont know if I would change that tranny fluid. Bad things have been known to happen to autos when you change fluid. ESPECIALLY if the auto has high mileage!!!

says who?

I'm not sure, but thats just something I've heard more than a few times from a few different people over the years. Ask your local transmission shop if its recommended to do an fluid change on a high mileage automatic tranny and see what they say. What happens is the new tranny fluid with the fresh detergents washes away material and dirt that actually creates a seal in areas that need to be sealed and creaks leaks and problems. This is just folklore I guess if thats what you wanna call it but it makes sense to me and I personally wouldnt try it. Atleast not with a high mileage auto tranny.

Auto tranny fluid should be changed every 30k and if not, then 60k. Read the manual. Auto tranny needs to be changed more often than manual transmission fluid. Actually at 60k you should flush a auto tranny. Read the manual it should tell you, or call a Honda dealer.

I would show you, but I don't drive a slush box ;) hehe, you take thing too seriously riley :giggle:

ive got about 26,xxx on my car riley.

ugh i guess since they swappedmy tranny at 15k... and put a new one in that should be good will 45? idk.. i go to honda and they dun like me...they say im too low and treat me like i have down syndrome.. punintended
