Do I need to also change transmission filter in 06 honda civic?

You don't have to change the filter because it doesn't have one that you can change. (It has a filter, but its internal to the transmission and is not a 'servicable item')

Honda recommends 100,000 miles as the interval to change the fluid. Use only the Honda Hondamatic fluid if you do change it. Most dealers suggest you do a 'drain and refill' which will only change about 1/3 of the fluid be done at 60,000 miles. In no case should you do a "transmission flush" as that incudes chemicals into the transmission which could damage the internal seals.

On my own cars, I do a drain and refill every 30k but I don't drive more than 10k per year so its every 3 years for me.

hope that helps

I have a 2006 honda civic with 52,000 miles on it. I am going to change the transmission fluid. But I heard I don't have to change the filter because they last a lot longer and rarely need changing. Is this true? Also, What are the 10 most IMPORTANT types of service you need to do on a car?

yea, it can be as easy as that. On my toyotas it is just about the same as an engine oil oil drain and fill, except you'll need to pour slowly down the tranny dipstick. There is no filter to change in regular service, as transmission fluid is a sealed system which does not get exposed to containment the same as engine oil (you don't have an antifreeze filter or powersteering filter or brake fluid filter either). If you don't have any problems with the transmission, just do the drain/fill occasionally for service as described in the owner's manual. On even newer cars, the transmission fluid is intended to not be serviced for like 100k or so. In that case, the design can be very difficult and have special ports to attach drain tubes, and require the use of diagnostic computer to run a drain/fill service command.

I'm not sure about Civics but my 85 Prelude AT only has a drain plug. It's just a drain and refill like an oil change except there is no filter. The tool to remove the plug is a 3/8" drive ratchet. Check the fluid level with the engine off.

The guys above me is correct. Dont worry about the filter in the tranny. Seriously. DONT WORRY ABOUT THAT FILTER. It doesnt filter the way it sounds or the way you think it does. HONESTLY dont think about it. That filter will be fine for a long time.

TOP 10 Services on a car:

1) Oil changes every 4 to 5k miles (synthetic oil is better and offers better protection but cost more)

2) Spark plugs

3) Air Filter (get a K&N drop in. They are about $80 but once you have 1 you never need another 1)

4) Antifreeze (dont really worry about this too much. Rarely does it need to be changed)

5) Water Pump and Timing Belt (if one of these 2 goes always replace both of them)

6) TIRE PRESSURE ( check your tire pressure once a week )

7) Alignments (every 9k miles or more is not bad)

8) Windshield Wiper fluid. (i use plain water. its better on the paint)

9) Make sure your spare tire is full of air 55 to 60lbs of pressure once a month. (it leaks trust me)

10) Dont forget your Fuzzy Dice ;)

LIsten, when it comes to the tranny, IF IT AINT BROKE THEN LEAVE IT ALONE! Good Luck.
