It's only 4 years old I wouldn't worry about tranny fluid unless it starts to gets brown and burnt smelling . Apparently you have to remove a fill plug to see it's condition by putting your finger in it . Then you can siphon or vacuum it out and replace with honda ATF , The filter has a large surface area and shouldn't get clogged for some time . If you insist on having it changed bring it to honda dealership .
