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
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 spills immediately; it could
damage components in the engine
compartment.

Maintenance
Always use genuine Honda
ATF-Z1 (Automatic Transmission
Fluid). If it is 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 genuine
Honda ATF-Z1 by your dealer as
soon as it is convenient.
6. Insert the dipstick all the way back
into the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.
If you are not sure how to add fluid,
contact your dealer.
Brake and Clutch Fluid
Check the fluid level in the
reservoirs monthly.

the time recommendation in the

Always use genuine Honda Brake
Fluid or an equivalent from a sealed
container that is marked DOT3 or
DOT4 only. Brake fluid marked
DOT5 is not compatible with your
vehicle's braking system.
