FILLER BOLT
CHECK BOLT
If no fluid comes out, remove the
filler bolt. Slowly add genuine Honda
Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF)
until it starts to run out of the check
bolt hole. Let the fluid run out until it
stops, then reinstall the check bolt
and the filler bolt. Tighten them to:
(Check bolt)
See previous column.
(Filler bolt)
39 49 N·m (4 5 kgf·m , 29 36
lbf·ft)
After checking and adding the fluid,
put the under cover back in place
and tighten the bolts securely.
Pour the fluid into the filler hole
slowly and carefully so you do not
spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately. Spilled fluid could
damage components in the engine
compartment.
If genuine Honda MTF is not
available, you may use an API
service SJ or higher grade motor oil
with a viscosity of SAE 10W-30 or
10W-40 as a temporary replacement.
However, motor oil does not contain
the proper additives and continued
use can cause stiffer shifting.
Replace as soon as it is convenient.
