NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission.

1. Bring the transmission up to operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on) by driving the vehicle.
2. Park the vehicle on the level ground, and turn the engine off.





3. Remove the ATF filler bolt and drain plug, and drain the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).

NOTE: If a cooler flusher is to be used, refer to ATF Cooler Flushing.

4. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer.





5. Refill the transmission with the recommended fluid into the filler hole (A) to the upper mark on the dipstick. Always use Honda ATF DW-1 (ATF-Z1 has been replaced with ATF DW-1, Honda Service News Nov 2010) Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
