Honda Odyssey automatic transmission flow filter
The automatic transmission in-line filter is an important component of the automatic transmission system that helps keep the transmission fluid clean and prevent contaminants from entering it. Honda recommends replacing the automatic transmission in-line filter on Odyssey models every 30,000-60,000 km or two years, depending on operating conditions.
Location
The automatic transmission flow filter in a Honda Odyssey is usually located on the side or at the bottom of the automatic transmission housing. It can be identified by its tubular shape and the two hoses that go to it.
Replacement
To replace the automatic transmission flow filter in a Honda Odyssey, follow these steps:
1. Gather the necessary tools and materials: wrench, pliers, clean transmission fluid and a new in-line filter.
2. Locate the filter and disconnect the hoses: Use a wrench or pliers to loosen the clamps on the hoses and disconnect them from the filter.
3. Remove the old filter: Remove the bolts or clips that secure the filter to the transmission housing and remove the old filter.
4. Install the new filter: Place the new filter in the hole and secure it with bolts or clamps. Make sure the fluid flow direction matches the arrow on the filter.

6. Fill with Transmission Fluid: Add enough clean transmission fluid to the automatic transmission to fill it to the proper level.
7. Check the fluid level: Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Then check the fluid level on the automatic transmission dipstick and add fluid if necessary.
