For drain and refill it cost me
3 litre @7.something = $21.something +
30 min labour= $25
All prices is Canadian dollars and from a Honda dealer.

A half-hour of dealer labor is $25? Was this 20 years ago or something?
Dealer shop rate these days is more like $90 per hour. Even higher in some
places. Even the independents are around $60-$70/hr.
And that drain and fill only replaced about half the total fluid, so you'd
need to get it done several times to make sure most of it's fresh.

Re: Cost of Transmission Fluid Flush
I must admit that I'm disappointed. I ask a simple question and I get
a bunch of advice that I didn't ask for. I appreciate the concern
about having a transmission FLUSH in a Honda, but I've decided to do it
(no post on this board will change my mind). And I wanted to know how
much a FLUSH costs, not a breakdown of how much labor costs these days.
If you haven't had one done or don't know how much they cost, then
don't reply to the post.

The reason that Honda says you can't 'flush' their trannies (as I
understand it) is Murphy's Law.
There's more than a 50/50 chance that the bozos at Monkey Lube will hook
up the hoses BACKWARDS and when they start pumping, the contents of the
INTERNAL FILTER will be distributed equally throughout the transmission.
Yes, it's very expensive. Ask 'Chip', if he's around these days.....

Re: Cost of Transmission Fluid Flush
If you didn't want advice, just pick up the phone and ask the dealer. You
posted in a public newsgroup. Take the good with the bad.
Some of us see you standing on a bridge, and we are just trying to talk you
down!
G-Man
Enjoy your flush!
