Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection

FLUID LEVEL
Checking

NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission.

1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
2. Park the vehicle on the level ground. Turn off the engine.





3. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the transmission, and wipe it with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick into the transmission.





5. Remove the dipstick and check the fluid level. It should be between the upper mark and lower mark.





6. If the level is below the lower mark, pour the recommended fluid into the filler hole to bring it to the upper mark. Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
7. Install the ATF filler bolt with a new sealing washer.
8. Insert the dipstick back into the transmission.
