DIPSTICK

Check the fluid level with the engine

at normal operating temperature.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.

Shut off the engine.

2. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)

from the transmission and wipe it

with a clean cloth.

3. Insert the dipstick all the way into

the transmission.

4. Remove the dipstick and check

the fluid level. It should be

between the upper and lower

marks.

5. If the level is below the lower

mark, add fluid into the filler hole

to bring it to the upper mark.

Always use Honda Premium

Formula Automatic Transmission

Fluid (ATF). If it is not available,

you may use a DEXRON

temporary replacement. However,

continued use can affect shift

quality. Have the transmission

drained and refilled with Honda

ATF as soon as it is convenient.

6. 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
