That's not completely true. The way Honda does it is a 3 part process. Remove the drain plug, let the ATF run out, replace the drain plug, fill the tranny, take the car for a short ride and repeat twice more. I decided that was overkill. After seeing, smelling and feeling my discarded fluid I went with 1 drain and refill.
