That sounds about right. I'm assuming you mean an automatic since the V6 only came with an automatic back then. Most Honda automatics drain between 2.5 and 3.5 quarts, with the majority of the fluid remaining in the torque converter. I'm guessing the total fluid is somewhere between 5.5 and 7 quarts, although the value should be listed in your owner's manual. |

That's right. If you wanted to get the majority of the fluid out, you should have bought a Nissan, at least in the Maxima veriety. Much easier! With a Honda (which is more typical), I'd change the fluid again, or at least keep it on a scheduled change once in a while along with the engine oil. If it was just changed 20k ago it's probably just fine, unless you've pounded it with stop-and-go in a high temp climate. JM |
