what mileage should I change this out at? Can i refill with mobil 1?
I assume the process is take out drain, take out fill, once trans oil stops draining, replace drain plug, pour in trans oil through fill port and keep going till it levels off?

The process is to take out the fill bolt first then the drain bolt, because if you manage to take off the drain bolt and not the fill bolt you sir are screwed...
Then put the drain bolt back in, fill it up until it just starts to drain out of the fill hole, then you pt the fill bolt back in and you are done

Can anyone post a picture showing where the drain plug on the automatic transmission is located for a 2009? The service manual is worthless in this regard.

Should be marked in blue and be a 3/8" square input I believe.

You can fill the transmission through the dipstick hole. It's easier than the fill hole. I think a drain and fill is about 2.5 quarts.
There is no dipstick on the manual trans, only automatics. I don't know the exact capacity off the top of my head, but it's definitely less than 2 qts. I also suggest Honda's own MTF fluid.

Manual says 1.6 Qts. However, just fill it until it runs out of the fill hole and then let it dribble to a stop. Make sure the car is level.

It took 2.7 quarts exactly to refill after draining. I am wondering how many times doing a partial oil change will be ok. I assume there is some sort of filter inside that needs replacing

Wait, for an AT or MT?
