If the level is below the lower
mark, add fluid into the dipstick
hole to bring it to the level
between the upper and lower
marks.

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.

Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.

Park the vehicle on level ground.
Start the engine, let it run until the
radiator fan comes on, then shut
off the engine. For accurate
results, wait about 60 seconds (but
no longer than 90 seconds) before
doing step 2.

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 securely as
shown in the illustration.

Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.

Always use Honda ATF-Z1
(automatic transmission fluid).

Insert the dipstick all the way back
into the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.

The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the maintenance minder (see page

).

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