Default 2006 auto trans fluid change

Hello Accord forum members,

I'm a newbie to this awesome forum.

Purchased a 2006 accord coupe V6 last year.
First accord for me, so far very happy with the vechicle.

I'm using mobil 1 5-20 when doing my engine oil changes.

Seeking advise on trans fluid change -
Want to go with synthetic - Amsoil ATF.
Amsoil recomends doing a flush-fill. Steps -
1. Drain what is in the pan, and fill. (Did this change change last yeat with honda fluid - so I know I need 3 qts here).
2. Disconnect a trans cooling line, start the engine, carefully collect the pumped out fluid till it begins spitting.
3. Measure that pumped out fluid to determine refill amount (I'm guessing 6-7 qts).
4. Reconnect trans cooling line.
5. Add the new fluid, amount per measured.
6. Check level.

1 specific question -
I looked near the radiator wasn't sure where the trans line was - please advice.

General question -
Any specific comments / additions to the above procedure.

Thanks
