Hey Scotty can you give me advise or you fans of Scotty. I have a 2008 Honda civic DX Coupe that has 138,000 miles in it I’m the 3rd owner of the vehicle and I’m not sure if the transmission fluid has been changed. Do you recommend me to go right ahead and change it? By the the transmission still changes gears smoothly and the fluid in the automatic transmission looks like needs replacing color if that makes sense. It’s not black at all by the way. Need an answer ASAP please!!!
As with the thousands of other times this kind of question has been asked here, a detailed answer can be found in the FAQ.
138,000 miles and you don't know if it's been changed before then the answer is a hard (giggity) NO.
I'm pretty sure if you check your owners manual it says to change it every 60,000 miles. Your mileage is over twice that. Of course it's your call but I wouldn't risk it
