Honda 2007 S2000 SECURITY SYSTEM, Online Reference Owner'S Manual

Page: 155 / 228

Check the fluid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle sitting
on level ground. Remove the
transmission filler bolt, 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, add Honda Manual
Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it
starts to run out of the hole. Install
the filler bolt, and tighten it securely.
If you are not sure how to check and
add fluid, contact your dealer.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the intervals shown on the
information display.
If Honda MTF is not available, you
may use an SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40
viscosity motor oil with the API
Certification seal that says ‘‘FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES’’ 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.
Put a new washer on the filler bolt,
then reinstall the filler bolt and
tighten it securely.
