Once I did that it was fine. Make sure you use a transmission funnel to fill it as that fill hole is quite a ways down.

The one thing about this that makes it different from any other car is you don't have to change a filter and you don't get bathed in transmission fluid when you do it. It's simple.

1. Pull plug & drain
2. replace plug and fill (remove fill plug)

Just make sure you use that Honda fluid, that's just my preference for the CVT though.

If my car gets out of the body shop today (or tomorrow morning) I'll take pics on how to change it and post them on the shared section. I'm due for another change, I've been trying to change mine every 18,000 miles.
