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 M T F 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.
