3 possible different pans and 2 possible different fluids. Good video.
There is another method to determine fluid as well, look at the transmission pan from underneath, if it has circles only means red fluid, if it has oval shapes then blue fluid

Great stuff, thanks for posting. 10k to go but I know I am doing it. I love at 16:48 where he says "stop acting like a teenage girl"!!! LOL
My Porsche transmission is also serviced entirely from beneath. When it could have easily had an openable cover in the spare tire well to fill from above.
Wonder what made the Germans determined to do it this way? The Honda is so simple, just pull out the dipstick and pour in new fluid ...
