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 dipstick
tube to bring it to the upper mark.
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.
