Rear Differential Fluid
(4WD models only)
FILLER BOLT
Check the fluid level with the rear
differential at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle sitting
on level ground. Remove the
differential fluid filler bolt and
washer and carefully feel inside the
bolt hole with your finger. The fluid
level should be up to the edge of the
bolt hole. If it is not, slowly add
Genuine Honda Dual Pump Fluid
until it starts to run out of the hole.
Reinstall the filler bolt and tighten it
securely.
If the Dual Pump Fluid is not
available, you may use Honda
Premium Formula Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF) or a
quality DEXRON ® III ATF as a
temporary replacement. However,
continued use can cause noise,
vibration and performance problems.
Have the differential drained and
refilled with Genuine Honda Dual
Pump Fluid as soon as it is
convenient.
The rear differential should be
drained and refilled with new fluid
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule.
