The best bet is to follow the change interval described in your owner's manual. Many transmissions now use a longer-life fluid and have relatively infrequent interval recommendations. 30,000 miles used to be a good rule of thumb, and it can't hurt to change it sooner than recommended. If you haven't changed the fluid in 50,000 miles, you may well be due. Check your owner's manual or call a Honda dealership.

To ensure long transmission life I change the oil in my Honda every 30,000 and use the genuine Honda Fluid (which a lot of good auto parts stores carry). Genuine Honda ATF is not very expensive. We service a lot of Honda's and everything I read says their fluid has special additives not found in other after market oils. These transmissions are very easy to change the transmission oil, drive the car, get the oil hot, Switch off the engine drain the oil, refill with fresh oil and check the level of the fluid with the engine off and the car on levl ground. Drive the car again engaging all the gears, and recheck the oil level again.
