Transmission Fluid

5-speed Manual Transmission

ChecK the fluid level with the

transmission at normal operating

temperature and the car sitting on

level ground. Remove the

transmission filler bolt and carefully

feel inside the bolt hole with your

finger. The fluid level should be up

to the edge of the bolt hole. If it is

not, add Genuine Honda Manual

Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it

starts to run out of the hole. Reinstall

the filler bolt and tighten it securely.

If Honda MTF is not available, you

may use an API service SG, SH or SJ

grade motor oil with a viscosity of

SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 as a

temporary replacement. An SG

grade is preferred, but an SH or SJ

grade may be used if SG is not

available. However, motor oil does

not contain the proper additives and

continued use can cause stiffer

shifting. Replace as soon as

convenient.

The transmission should be drained

and refilled with new fluid according

to the time and distance recommen-

dations in the maintenance schedule.
