The larger (Accord / Odyssey) will drain 4 litres if you are patient.
Yours may be smaller, but probably still 3 - 3.5 litres each time. Warm
it up, remove the magnetic drain plug (3/8" square hole facing front
right tire) and let it drain a good 1/2 hour. Wipe the magnet, replace
the copper crush washer and refill with fresh Honda Z1 ATF. Drive it a
day or a week and do it again. You'll see a fine 'paint' of metal on the
magnet this time.
Honda ATF MUST be used. Sounds like you'll need seven litres. Don't
overfill, don't 'power flush'.
