Hondas are the easiest vehicles to change automatic transmission fluid. All you need is a 3/8" socket wrench, drain pan, and about 3 quarts of HONDA ATF. The drain plug for the ATF is on the passenger side. Look on the bottom of the transmission for a plug where the socket wrench will fit. Remove the plug and your ATF will drain. There might be some fine dust like residue on the plug. This is normal. The plug is magnetic that picks up fine metal particles during normal operation. Refill the ATF through the dipstick hole. You might need an extra long funnel. Be careful not to over fill. Thats it.

How the frig do you check the transmission fluid level? Running? off? warm? cold? etc. I never did figure that out :P

This I could never figure out either. I guess every car is different. My Nissan manual truck says to check the ATF while the engine is warm and running. My Integra manual says warmed up and with the engine off. I would say warmed up and off for the Accord. Check your owners manual just in case.

you check it w/in a minute after turning the car OFF. It has to be w/in a minute and the car has to be OFF, otherwise it'll drain back into the pan if you let it sit too long. This is according to Haynes manual. And yeah don't use any additives, ONLY use Honda ATF.
