I don't completely agree with that. The Ody thrives off fresh ATF. More frequent changes outside of Honda spec have been documented to improve transmission performance. Several members do a 1x drain/refill every other oil change. I think the ATF is the exception to that rule, everything else I likely agree the dealer is taking $ out of your wallet.
I haven't seen any confirmed techniques on how to do the ATF yourself. Is it possible or does the dealer really need to do it? Someone wrote about having to put the car into Maintenance Mode first?? Is there a drain plug? Where is the refill hole? Many thanks.
