Maintenance Under the Hood

Transmission Fluid

Check the fluid level when the engine is at normal operating temperature.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.

2. Remove the transmission filler bolt and

washer. Carefully feel inside the bolt hole
with your fingers.

Check if the fluid level is up to the edge
of the bolt hole.

3. If the fluid level is not up to the edge of the

bolt hole, add Acura Manual Transmission
Fluid (MTF) until it runs out of the hole.

4. Put a new washer on the filler bolt, then

reinstall the filler bolt.

Tightening torque:
33 lbf∙ft (44 N∙m, 4.5 kgf∙m)

Manual Transmission Fluid

Specified fluid: Acura Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF)

Manual Transmission Fluid

If Acura MTF is not available, you may use the API
certificated SAE 0 W-20 or 5 W-20 viscosity motor oil
as a temporary measure.

Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor oil does
not contain the proper additives for the transmission
and continued use can cause decreased shifting
performance and lead to transmission damage.
