Check the fluid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle sitting
on level ground. Remove the check
bolt, and look for transmission fluid
coming out of the bolt hole. If a small
amount of fluid drips out of the bolt
hole, reinstall the check bolt.
If Honda MTF is not available, you
may use an SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40
viscosity motor oil with the API
Certification seal that says ‘‘FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES’’ as a
temporary replacement. However,
motor oil does not contain the proper
additives, and continued use can
cause stiffer shifting. Replace as
soon as it is convenient.
If no fluid comes out, remove the
filler bolt. Slowly add Honda Manual
Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it
starts to run out of the check bolt
hole. Let the fluid run out until it
stops, then reinstall the check bolt
and the filler bolt.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid when this
service is shown on a maintenance
message in the Multi-Information
Display.
