Transmission Oil

3. Insert the dipstick all the way

into the transmission.

4. Remove the dipstick and check

the fluid level. It should be

between the upper and lower
marks.

5. If the level is below the lower

mark, add fluid into the tube to

bring it to the upper mark. Use
Honda Premium Formula Auto-
matic Transmission Fluid or an
equivalent DEXRON® II Auto-

matic Transmission Fluid (ATF)

only.

6. Insert the dipstick all the way

back in the transmission.

The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid every 24
months or 48,000 km (30,000 miles),

whichever comes first. Shorten this
to every 12 months or 24,000 km

(15,000 miles) under severe driving
conditions (see page

130

5-speed Manual Transmission

Check the oil level a couple of mi-

nutes after shutting off the engine.
Make sure the car is on level
ground. Remove the transmission
filler bolt. The oil level should be
up to the edge of the bolt hole. Feel
inside the bolt hole with your finger.
If you do not feel any oil, slowly

add oil until it starts to run out of
the hole. Reinstall the filler bolt
and tighten it securely.
