    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

    They will leak fluid when disconnected, and the cooler in the radiator will
    drain. I don't think you will lose very much though. I've not added
    transmission fluid to mine, but I believe it's just a matter of pouring some
    in the dip stick hole. Don't overfill it!
