The rear differential should be
drained and refilled with new fluid
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Check the fluid level with the rear
differential at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle on level
ground. Remove the differential fluid
filler bolt and washer, and carefully
feel inside the bolt hole with your
finger. The fluid level should be up
to the edge of the bolt hole. If it is
not, slowly add Honda Dual Pump
Fluid until it starts to run out of the
hole.
Put a new washer on the filler bolt,
then reinstall the filler bolt and
tighten it securely.
Use only Honda Dual Pump Fluid.
Do not use Automatic Transmission
Fluid (ATF).
