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) (A) 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 (B) and lower mark (C).
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 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.
7. Insert the dipstick back into the transmission.
