Which car is this?

These are the steps I followed when I performed the drain and refills on the Accord:
I would perform the drain and refill, check the dipstick (should pour in approx 3 quarts and a bit), get into car and shift through the gears (don't need to remove wheels) to allow fluids to flow, and then double-check the dipstick again to ensure correct levels are filled.

After the first drain and refill, I drove approximately 1-1.5 months before performing the second. Some people will recommend doing it earlier (few days/weeks), but it is ultimately up to you. After all of the 3x3 drain and refills are performed, most people will do 1 drain and refill a year for general maintenance.

Notes:
-Make sure you have a long funnel that will fit the ATF dipstick hole
-Should replace the ATF washers as well
-The color of the ATF and amount of metal stuck to the plug will be able to tell you how dirty the fluid was
