DIY - 2012 Honda (NOT v6) Transmission help
 
Hey everybody,

Total newbie question, but I need help.

I have a 2012 Honda Accord LX standard non-v6 model. I just changed the oil and now I want to change the transmission fluid. I need help locating the Drain plug as I cannot find it. I have youtube videos but most are in the 90s-2008 version, and it says the plug is on the passengers side.. took the wheel off and not there.. so i know its toward the driver side because but I just want assurance. Please help with a pic or diagram would highly be appreciated. :)

Why do you want to change the transmission fluid already?

Welcome to the forum. Please do not post help questions in the DIY section, per the forum rules. I moved your thread.

What method are you using to determine if the transmission fluid is low?

Do you have a leak?

You really shouldn't have to change the transmission fluid at this point, and if you do there will be virtually no benefit to the transmission.

2011 "standard" non-V6 model... "Standard" meaning manual transmission?

I guess it's possible to have 70,000 miles on a 2-year-old car, but that's probably where Shipo's questions are coming from...

Actually its automatic 4cyl. and Yes I have 73k out of 2.5 years due to driving a lot for work.

I'm still thinking no benefit from a fluid change.

My questions in your other thread is, "How are you determining the level is low, and do you have a leak?"
