The amount depends on which transmission your Accord has. An automatic transmission typically needs about 9 quarts for a full change, while a 5-speed manual uses roughly 2.5–2.7 quarts. If you’re doing a simple pan drain and refill, expect to replace about 4–5 quarts (automatic) or about 2.0–2.5 quarts (manual).
Below is a breakdown by transmission type, plus notes on fluid type and how to verify levels. Exact capacities can vary slightly by engine option and service method, so always confirm with the owner’s manual or a trusted service bulletin for your specific car.
Automatic Transmission (5-Speed)
Most 2007 Accords with an automatic use Honda ATF DW-1. The figures below reflect typical service capacities when performing a complete change or a full flush, rather than a quick pan drain. Actual capacity can vary slightly by model year, engine, and whether the torque converter is drained.
- Total system capacity (including torque converter): about 9.0–9.5 quarts (8.5–9.5 liters).
- Pan drain-and-fill capacity: roughly 4.0–5.0 quarts (3.8–4.7 liters).
- Full fluid change/flush (circulating new fluid through the system): about 9–10 quarts (8.5–9.5 liters).
Bottom line: Plan on about 9 quarts for a full change. If you’re only draining and refilling the pan, you’ll typically replace around 4–5 quarts.
Manual Transmission (5-Speed)
For the 2007 Accord’s manual transmission, the lubricant is a gear oil rather than automatic transmission fluid. The following figures apply to the standard 5-speed manual commonly found on four-cylinder models; V6 variants may differ slightly.
- Total capacity (full fill): about 2.5–2.7 quarts (2.4–2.6 liters).
- Pan drain-and-fill capacity: typically around 2.0–2.5 quarts (1.9–2.4 liters).
- Recommended fluid: Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) or an equivalent GL-4 gear oil (often 75W-90), as specified in the owner's manual; avoid GL-5 if noted.
Bottom line: A complete fluid change for the manual transmission is roughly 2.5–2.7 quarts, with a drain-and-fill typically replacing about 2.0–2.5 quarts.
Fluid type and service notes
Use the correct lubricant for your transmission: ATF DW-1 for automatics, and Honda MTF or a suitable GL-4 gear oil for manuals. Always verify the exact spec for your trim and engine in the owner’s manual or a dealership bulletin before buying fluid.
Check and replacement tips
When checking or replacing transmission fluid, ensure the car is on a level surface and the fluid is at the proper temperature. For automatics, the transmission should be warm and the engine running to get an accurate level on the dipstick. For manuals, follow the service procedure in the manual for the correct level and fill procedures.
Summary
For a 2007 Honda Accord, automatic transmissions generally require about 9 quarts for a full change (4–5 quarts for a pan drain and refill), while manual transmissions require about 2.5–2.7 quarts (about 2.0–2.5 quarts for a drain-and-fill). Always use the recommended fluid type and confirm exact capacities for your specific model and engine configuration. Regular fluid checks and following proper procedures will help maintain smooth shifting and transmission longevity.
