Transmission Fluid

Check the fluid level with the

transmission at normal operating

temperature and the car sitting on

the level ground.

Remove the black cover under the

engine.

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 it is

convenient.

The transmission should be drained

and refilled with new fluid according

to the time and distance recommen-

dations in the maintenance schedule.
