My reading of the manual is that the tranny ends up being drained four
times with this method. I like to use a new drain plug washer when I do
this routine. The last time I did our Accord I went through about 12
quarts in the four rounds. Five minutes of driving between each drain
should be plenty. Try to take a route which lets the tranny work
through all the gears.

well, I may be wrong, but I doubt the manual mentions the process
but even if it does I doubt it goes into these details that I'm looking for
because after all this is meant to be performed by "technicians" no ?

So you use one new washer for the ENTIRE 4-round cycle or
one new for EACH round ?
and does dealer sell these washers ?

thanks

You don't EVER have to use a new washer.

Re-use the damned things for sixteen years if you want.

Just re-torque correctly each time and you're fine.

And don't be shocked if it takes about 100 foot-pounds to get the drain
bolt out. That's how I usually tell if its the first time it is getting
changed.

I just put a new washer on for the final fill. Yes, dealers normally
have them.
