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 into the

transmission. Make sure the notch
in the rubber cap fits in the

dipstick guide and that you push

the dipstick in all the way.

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 tube to

bring it to the upper mark. Always

use Honda Premium Formula

Automatic Transmission Fluid

(ATF). 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

drained and refilled with Honda

ATF as soon as it is convenient.

6. Insert the dipstick all the way back

in the transmission.

The transmission should be drained

and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance recommen-

dations in the maintenance schedule.
