Honda Accord 4D 2003-2006, Owner'S Manual, Page: 390 / 525

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.
After checking and adding the fluid,
put the under cover back in place
and tighten the bolts securely.
Pour the fluid to the filler hole slowly
and carefully so you do not spill.
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.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance recommen-
dations in the maintenance schedule.
If you are not sure how to check and
add fluid, contact your Honda dealer.
