In the 2002 Honda Odyssey, the automatic transmission requires Honda ATF DW1 fluid, specifically made for its 5-speed automatic system. To refill the transmission, find the 17 mm plug situated below and to the right of the engine on the driver's side. Use a standard mechanic's funnel to add fluid as necessary. Keep an eye on the level by checking the transmission's dipstick located at the front and right of the engine. Honda suggests getting a flush and filter change every 90,000 miles. Warning signs of a failing transmission may include hesitating, gear slipping, idling surges, and reduced speed performance. If you notice fluid leaks, seek professional diagnosis. The average cost for a regular transmission flush is around $100-$115 including materials and labor.
