Use only Honda ATF DW-1 (automatic
transmission fluid). Do not mix with
other transmission fluids.
Using transmission fluid other than
Honda ATF DW-1 may cause
deterioration in transmission operation
and durability, and could result in
damage to the transmission.
Damage resulting from the use of
transmission fluid other than Honda
ATF DW-1 is not covered by the Honda
new vehicle warranty.

If you are not sure how to add fluid,
contact your dealer.

Manual Transmission Fluid

Check the fluid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle 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 Honda Manual
Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it
starts to run out of the hole.

Put a new washer on the filler bolt,
then reinstall the filler bolt and
tighten it securely.

If Honda MTF is not available, you
may use an SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40
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.

If you are not sure how to check and
add fluid, contact your dealer.
