Automatic transmission fluid – HONDA 2006 honda pilot User Manual
Page 246
Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Shut off the engine.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
Remove the dipstick and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.
Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission.
If the level is below the lower
mark, remove the fill plug and add
fluid into the tube to bring it to the
upper mark.
Always use Honda ATF-Z1
(automatic transmission fluid). If
it’s not available, you may use a
DEXRON III automatic
transmission fluid as a temporary
replacement. However, continued
use can affect the shift quality.
Have the transmission flushed and
refilled with Honda ATF-Z1 as
soon as it is convenient.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully
so you do not spill any. Clean up
any spill immediately; it could
damage components in the engine
compartment.
