2015 Odyssey trans service - fluid volume?

[JeffKeryk]

I recently serviced my niece's 2015(?) Odyssey, top-of-the-line.
About 55K miles on the ODO.

The initial service drained 4.1 quarts; 3K miles later I drained 3.8 quarts.
I replaced the 3.8 quarts and it reads slightly overfilled after a drive.

What volume do you generally see on a spill-and-fill service on one of these vans?

Thanks in advance...

Depends on the temperature of the fluid and angle its drained.

I usually add 3 quarts and then top off till full.

Did Honda put dipsticks back in them ? I thought around 2010-2012 they removed the dipstick. Now that I think about it, I don't recall that our 2005 had a dipstick, just a fill port, and your only option was replacing what was drained.

Does it have a HOT and COLD marking ? When I use the HOT marking, I make sure the ATF is really hot, like after a 30+ minute drive.

True. I know for my Pilot, the manual says to add 3.6 qts after a D&F and then check/adjust as necessary.

Yes, there is a dipstick; it reads slightly over with a hot transmission.
Next time I will add 3.5 and check... I bet that will be right on the $$.
I have always replaced 3 quarts on my Honda cars (Acuras), except a '88 Civic that took 2.5 quarts.

Funny how the first drain was slightly over 4 quarts; that surprised me.

Thanks to all for your guidance.

Somewhere between 3.5-3.7.

BTW, make sure you get the software update done for the trans.

My owners manual (for my '12 EXL) specifies 3.3 qt for trans D/F. I found that draining it hot and then adding exactly 3.3 qts from the bottle (room temp) always brings the level exactly to the hot full line when I check it later after driving. Note that I never check the quantity when I drain.

Your trans is different than mine, but you should get good results if you start with the specified quantity for your trans (3.3 qt according to the 2015 manual).

My ESM says 6.55 pints.
Usually very accurate.
