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.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully
so you do not spill any. Clean up
any spills immediately; it could
damage components in the engine
compartment.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
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.

this three times. Then drain and
refill the transmission a final time.

Insert the dipstick all the way back
in the transmission.
The transmission should be drained

dations in the maintenance schedule.
If you are not sure how to add fluid,
contact your dealer.
