Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.

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.

If the level is below the lower
mark, add fluid into the dipstick
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 spill immediately; it could
damage components in the engine
compartment.

Park the vehicle on level ground.
Start the engine, let it run until the
radiator fan comes on, then shut
off the engine. For accurate
results, wait about 60 seconds (but
no longer than 90 seconds) before
doing step 2.

Always use Honda CVTF
(continuously variable
transmission fluid).
