Default Changing AT fluid on a 98 LX ?'s

Does anyone know where the drain bolt it is?
How many quarts are needed?
Do I need to drain & refill 3 times (running in between) to get most of old fluid out?

This is what people recommend for Oddyssey trannies. I wonder if this applies for accords?
I also heard that flushing is not advisable that drain & fill method is the best way.

Thanks in advance

the drain bolt should be towards the rear of the engine on the base of the transmission If I remember correctly... Also, the only method I've done on most of my cars is just drain and fill... if you want to flush it then you could always drain it/re-fill it repeatedly or just take it to a place that can pressurize it and do it...

4 or 6 cyl??

if a 4 cyl.. drain bolt is on the pass side bottom of tranny you will need a 3/8 rachet to remove the plug..

if a v6 it is on the driver side bottom of tranny same tool.

to fill it 3 qts is fine use Honda ATF-Z1 fluid,,
if when you drain it fulid smells burnt or looks real balck you might want to drain and refill 2-3 times,, if it looks ok,, just do a drain and refill .
I would not flush the tranny either with the flushing machine some of these tranny shops use
