i did my ATF change and had my car at an angle to allow it to drain better, and i put in 3qtrs and i'm still short. I'll be going to get another quart of ATF tomorrow. it's just below the messuring bar.
You sure 3 quarts? How did you measure your ATF oil level? You have to take it out for a drive, then take a reading when the oil is hot.

Why are people replacing ATF fluid at 15K miles? That seems really short period? I'm more curious than anything else.

Some people are just more cautious then others... My ATF is becoming dark brown... i'm about to change my AFT soon!! At 30k miles or 50k Km if you prefer!Marko!
The MINI Cooper S engine was actually designed by the same team responsible for the Neon SRT-4. It would seem this team is as competent as they are modest. Though only rated at 163 hp at the crank, our MINI cranks out 166 hp at the wheels.
on the honda manual it says first transmission oil change, change it on 60,000 then every 30,000 after.
Agreed and that is under "severe" conditions. I wouldn't change it any more often then that.
It's up to the individual to change it sooner and given the history of Honda automatics I don't blame them. For me, I'll stick with just following that schedule.

Well, i have 52k km on my Fit and the AT fluid is already burned... I'm gonna do a flush soon! Anyway, preventive maintenance is never done too often and transmission fluid is cheaper then a transmission!!
