    I am doing a radiator replacement on a 95 Accord EX automatic. I've done
    many standard shift radiators, but very few automatics.

    There is a transmission oil cooling circuit running through the radiator.
    When I disconnect the oil lines, will tranny oil pour out of a line(s)?
    Should I plan on plugging these lines while I remove the radiator? If I
    lose much oil, is topping off the auto trany as easy as pouring the correct
    oil into the dipstick tube, or is there a more complicated fill procedure?

    I'm hoping the oil lines are empty with the engine off. Can anyone let me
    know what I'm in for?

    thanks,

    Andy

    get some small plastic(like plastic bags, real little ones.. and some
    rubber bands to hold the plastic onto the metal tubes... when out take
    one off the tube is pulled out and you put the plastic bag over to tube
    with the rubber band over it to hold it on... do this to each and you
    will hardly loose any oil, just whats in the line.....the only way you
    gonna get much oil out is if the motor is on pumping the oil....
    and never put the old oil back in the transmission.. you might check
    your oil level when finished and it might either need some or might not,
    probably none needed...
