Acura 2010 TSX - Manual (Page 429)

Remove the transmission filler bolt,
and carefully feel inside the bolt hole
with your finger. Check the fluid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle sitting
on level ground.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid when this
service is indicated by a maintenance
message on the multi-information
display.
If you are not sure how to check and
add fluid, contact your dealer.
To check the transmission fluid level,
remove the bolts with a wrench, then
remove the under cover carefully.
Reinstall the under cover and tighten
the bolts securely. Make sure the
under cover is installed under the
edge of the front bumper.
The fluid level should be up to the
edge of the bolt hole. If it is not, add
Acura Manual Transmission Fluid
(MTF) until it starts to run out of the
hole. Reinstall the filler bolt, and
tighten it securely.
If Acura MTF is not available, you
may use an SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40
viscosity motor oil with the API
Certification seal that says ‘‘FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES’’ as a
temporary replacement. However,
motor oil does not contain the proper
additives, and continued use can
cause stiffer shifting. Replace as
soon as it is convenient.
