Check the fluid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the car sitting on
the level ground.
Remove the black cover under the
engine.
Remove the transmission filler bolt
and carefully feel inside the bolt hole
with your finger. The fluid level
should be up to the edge of the bolt
hole. If it is not, add Honda Manual
Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it
starts to run out of the hole. Reinstall
the filler bolt and tighten it securely.
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 refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance recommen-
dations in the maintenance schedule.
