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.  
Check the fluid level with the engine  
at normal operating temperature.  
2. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)  
from the transmission, and wipe it  
with a clean cloth.  
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.  
Start the engine, let it run until the  
radiator fan comes on, then shut  
off the engine. For accurate  
results, wait about 60 seconds (but  
no longer than 90 seconds) before  
doing step 2.  
3. Insert the dipstick all the way into  
the transmission securely as  
shown in the illustration.  
Always use Honda Genuine  
ATF-Z1 (automatic transmission  
fluid).

6. Insert the dipstick all the way back  
into the transmission securely as  
shown in the illustration.  
Use only Honda Genuine ATF-Z1  
(automatic transmission fluid). Do not  
mix with other transmission fluids.  
Using transmission fluid other than  
Honda Genuine ATF-Z1 may cause  
deterioration in transmission operation  
and durability, and could result in  
damage to the transmission.  
Damage resulting from the use of  
transmission fluid other than Honda  
Genuine ATF-Z1 is not covered by the  
Honda new vehicle warranty.  
Make sure the rubber cap on the  
dipstick fits in the dipstick guide  
and that you push the dipstick in  
all the way.  
If you are not sure how to add fluid,  
contact your dealer.
