simultaneous fluid change
I was wondering if its possible or rather a good idea to change all 4 at once. I have 4 jack stands and can set it up on them. The oil, trans, and diff fluids just leak out correct? Once you had those coming out you could forget them and pay strict attention to bleeding the breaks and making sure the reservoir stays full to keep air out of the lines.

Convenience is the main driver in your decision, but I wouldn't do early changes since it is wasteful of petroleum resources. Just change the ones that are due.
I do engine oil every 4-5k miles, transmission and differential together every 15k miles, and brake fluid every 2 years. Usually, the timing of these fluid changes does not align.

anyone here that have changed their tranny fluid ever notice a smoother shift or is it barely noticable.
Reason I ask was I waited over 40k miles and i changed mine. Didnt feel any different. I used the correct oil sold from Honda to this day.

I have changed oil.diff and tranny at the same time, but not brakes at the same time.
I don't see why you wouldn't want to do it all at once though if it's all due. Make it easy on yourself and your car by not having to jack it up and put it on stands more than you need to.
If your cars on stands, you don't need to take off the wheels for brake fluid change either

I used the new OEM honda 10k ago, but it was always fairly notchy and got worse after a few thousand miles. I now have 1k on 50/50 honda OEM/Amsoil MTF and it's awesome, and hasn't lost any smoothness at all. I have to put a few more thousand to see how long it lasts though.
Oh, whoever said to let the car shift itself, I just adapted that today and I thank you. Trans shifts and clutch work is a piece of cake now. Feels like i've been shifting wrong until now.
