Specified fluid: Honda CVTF (continuously variable transmission fluid)
Check the fluid level when the engine is at normal operating temperature.
1. Park on level ground, and start the engine.
Wait until the radiator fan starts and then 2.
turn off the engine.
Perform step 3 after waiting for about
60 seconds (less than 90 seconds).
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the 3.
transmission and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick all the way back into
4.
the transmission securely, as shown in the
image.
Remove the dipstick again and check the
5.
fluid level.
It should be between the upper and
lower marks in the HOT range.
If the level is below the lower mark, add 6.
fluid into the dipstick hole to bring it to the
level between the upper and lower marks,
and have your vehicle checked by a dealer
immediately.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully
so you do not spill any. Clean up
any spills immediately; they can
damage components in the engine
compartment.
