Hello,

I have a 2007 Honda Civic EX 4-door automatic sedan with 32K miles. Took in at the dealer for state inspection and asked for transmission drain and refill. New service advisor put in request for trannie flush and technician did the flush.

After I questioned the technician, he replied that Honda does not recommend a flush on high mileage cars but for my car which was a low mileage car, flush is fine.

Any thoughts on this? Is car ok? Should I be concerned?

Can anyone point to the service bulletin where it states that there can be damage to trannie or t/convertor?

Thanks in advance.

 

your fine i wouldnt be worried about it

 

I would have expected to hear the opposite - the tech should have told you to just swap new fluid, but to flush old fluid on an old car. I have no idea why he would have said NOT to flush old fluid. Either way, your car is fine. Your transmission has new, clean fluid.
