To thoroughly flush the transmission,
the technician should drain and refill
it with Honda ATF-Z1, then drive the
vehicle for a short distance. Do this
three times. Then drain and refill the
transmission a final time.
Insert the dipstick all the way back
in the transmission.
The automatic transmission should
be drained and refilled with new fluid
when this service is indicated by a
maintenance message on the
information display.
If you are not sure how to add fluid,
contact your dealer.
If the level is below the lower
mark, remove the fill plug, and add
fluid to bring it to the upper mark.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so
you do not spill any. Clean up any
spill immediately; it could damage
components in the engine
compartment.
Always use Honda ATF-Z1
(Automatic Transmission Fluid). If
it’s not available, you may use a
DEXRON III automatic
transmission fluid as a temporary
replacement. However, continued
use can affect the shift quality. Have
the transmission flushed and refilled
with Honda ATF-Z1 as soon as it is
convenient.
The rear differential should be
drained and refilled with new fluid
when this service is indicated by a
maintenance message on the
information display. This service
may be needed more often under
certain driving conditions (see page
).
Always use Honda VTM-4
Differential Fluid, and have your
dealer replace the rear differential
fluid.
