HONDA 2012 Accord Coupe - Manual (Page 362)

Check the fluid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle sitting
on level ground.
Reinstall the under cover and put the
holding clips back in place. Make
sure the under cover is installed
under the edge of the front bumper.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the Maintenance Minder
(see
page ).
If you are not sure how to check and
add fluid, contact your dealer.
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
Honda Manual Transmission Fluid
(MTF) until it starts to run out of the
hole. Reinstall the filler bolt, and
tighten it securely.
To check the transmission fluid level,
remove the under cover holding clips
with a flat-tip screwdriver, then
remove the under cover carefully.
If Honda MTF is not available, you
may use an SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20
viscosity motor oil with the API
Certification Seal that says ‘‘FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES’’ as a
temporary replacement. However,
motor oil does not contain the proper
additives, and continued use can
cause stiffer shifting. Replace as
soon as it is convenient.
