3. Insert the dipstick all the way into

the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.

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

(AutomaticTransmission 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.

6. Insert the dipstick all the way back

into the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.

The transmission should be drained

and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance recommen-
dations in the maintenance schedule.
