Transmission Oil
Automatic Transmission
Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.
1. Park the car 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 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 tube to
bring it to the upper mark. Use
Honda Premium Formula Auto-
matic Transmission Fluid or an
equivalent DEXRON
®
II Auto-
mati
c Transmission Fluid (ATF)
only.
6. Insert the dipstick back in the
transmission. Make sure the notch
fits in the dipstick guide and the
dipstick is down all the way.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid every 24
months or 48,000 km (30,000 miles),
whichever comes first. Shorten this
to every 12 months or 24,000 km
(15,000 miles) under severe driving
conditions (see page 134).
