2004 CRV Coolant and Tranny Fluid Change Input Needed by tomk17

Have 105K miles on my 04 EX. Time for a coolant and tranny fluid change. I've seen the Youtube videos on the tranny fluid change and can easily do that. Just an empty and refill job it looks like. Put in the same amount that comes out. How much will come out typically? No flushing needed?? Dealer wants $85 for it.
 
RE the coolant change, pretty much the same thing? Do I have to try to get out what's in the engine block? Another $85 from the dealer. I'll be using Honda fluids in both cases.
 
I've done the rear diff fluid changes in this CRV (twice) and just put in new plugs so coolant and tranny should be easy right?
 
PS: I was surprised to find out there is no timing belt on the 04's !! Last 98 Odyssey 2.3 L engine had it. Great, I was figuring $600 for that thing. Serpentine belt is still $125 to change.

On another CRV sight CRV/OC the tranny change requires draining and refilling the fluid 3 times .No there is no timing belt it is a chain.

The dealer won't be draining and refilling 3x that's for sure. For $85 I'm sure they do a single 4QT drain and refill but I understand what you are saying.
 
Any input on the collant change, is common practice for that just a drain and fill?
Thanks

I dont know what the dealers procedure is but my understanding is that the tranny holds about 9 qts and if you drain and fill all you change is 4 qts.So by doing it once and driving a little and again draining driving a little and again draining you eventually end up with close to clean fluid. Sounds like a lot of work but I am only the messenger please dont shoot.

Thanks - that about what I thought. I'll be doing it the tranny fluid this weekend. FYI my 2004 EX with 4WD holds a total capacity of of 7.6 Qts so I agree, 1 change (manual says 3.3 Qts for a change) gets a 50% fluid turnover, another change after a short drive-around will net about 75% new fluid.

in these tough economic times i have been crushed by events
my car window rt was smashed and gps stolen
my deductible is 500 $
i payed 550 $ to above for repair
15 days later today at 7 pm the window fell down
the honda guys dont have a policy to serve
they will sell cars after 7 pm
but they stop attending pains like me after 6 pm
i am so sorry i brought a world class car from route 22 honda
they are not interested
i ask one question
where should i park my car tonight
if it is stolen
will they help
no they wont
even as i write this they are selling
labor day
happy weekend honda
u sure ruined mine
god bless america
god bless honda route 22 new jersey
sanjay

 
Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. But here are a few questions to ponder:
 
A) Why leave GPS in plain view?
 
B) Why pay $500 deductible when the side glass replacement is about $100?
 
C) If you live in a questionable area, consider moving, or paying for a parking garage.
 
D) Get a plastic bag, tape it to the frame and wait until the shop opens. Alternatively, remove the door skin and prop up the window. Takes 10 minutes.
