Acura 2006 MDX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 243)

Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Shut off the engine.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
If the level is below the lower
mark, remove the fill plug and add
fluid into the tube to bring it to the
upper mark.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so
you do not spill any. Clean up any
spill immediately; it could damage
components in the engine
compartment.
Remove the dipstick and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.
Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission as shown.
Always use Acura Precision Crafted
ATF-Z1 (automatic transmission
fluid). If it’s not available, you may
use a DEXRON III automatic
transmission fluid as a temporary
replacement. However, continued
use can affect the shift quality. Have
the transmission flushed and refilled
with Acura ATF-Z1 as soon as it is
convenient.
