2. Wait until the radiator fan starts and then

turn off the engine.

Perform step 3 after waiting for about

60 seconds (less than 90 seconds).

3. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the

transmission and wipe it with a clean cloth.

4. Insert the dipstick all the way back into

the transmission securely, as shown in the

level.

It should be between the upper and

fluid into the dipstick hole to bring it to the

and have your vehicle checked by a dealer
immediately.

NOTICE

Do not mix Honda ATF DW-1 with other

Using a transmission fluid other than Honda ATF
DW-1 may adversely affect the operation and
durability of your vehicle's transmission, and
damage the transmission.
Any damage caused by using a transmission fluid
that is not equivalent to Honda ATF DW-1 is not
covered by Honda's new vehicle warranty.

NOTICE

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.
