I found a shop that used a machine called TransTech or T-Tech (?) that
flushes your ATF. I have a '03 Pilot and looks as though it uses
about the same amount of ATF as yours.

I took about 12 qt with me to the shop (Honda's OEM ATF). The
technician filled the machine up with the new ATF and the machine then
was hooked up to the cooler line connections and sucked out the old
and dirty ATF and in went the new ATF.
