HONDA 2005 Civic Hybrid - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 158)

Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.
If the level is below the lower
mark, add fluid into the filler 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 spills immediately; it could
damage components in the engine
compartment.
Always use Honda 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 Honda ATF-Z1 as
soon as it is convenient.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.
Remove the dipstick and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks within the HOT range.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Shut off the engine.
NOTE: For accurate results, wait at
least 60 seconds, and no more than
90 seconds, after turning off the
engine to check the fluid level.
