Transmission Fluid

Automatic Transmission

Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.

1. Park the car on level ground. Shut

off the engine.

2. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)

from the transmission and wipe it
with a clean cloth.

3. Insert the dipstick all the way into

the transmission.

4. Remove the dipstick and check

the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.

5. If the level is below the lower

mark, add fluid into the filler hole
to bring it to the upper mark.

Always use Honda ATF-Z1

(Automatic Transmission Fluid). If

it is not available, you may use a
DEXRON

®

III automatic

transmission fluid as a temporary
replacement. However, continued
use can affect shift quality. Have
the transmission flushed and
refilled with Honda ATF-Z1 as
soon as it is convenient.

To thoroughly flush the transmission,

the technician should drain and refill
it with Honda ATF-Z1, then drive the

vehicle a short distance. Do this
three times. Then drain and refill the
transmission a final time.
