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 from the
transmission and wipe it off.
3. Insert the dipstick fully into its
tube and pull it out again.
4. Check the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.
5. If the level is below the lower
mark, add fluid to bring it to the
upper mark. Use Honda Premium
Formula Automatic Transmission
Fluid or an equivalent DEXRON
(R)
II Automatic Transmission Fluid
(ATF) only.
6. Push the dipstick securely back
into its tube.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid every 24
months or 30,000 miles (48,000 km),
whichever comes first.
