Always use Honda ATF-Z1
(Automatic Transmission Fluid). If
it’s not available, you may use a
DEXRON
III automatic
transmission fluid as a temporary
replacement. However, continued
use can affect the shift quality.
Have the transmission flushed and
refilled with Honda ATF-Z1 as
soon as it is convenient.
Insert the dipstick all the way back
in the transmission.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance recommen-
dations in the maintenance schedule.
To thoroughly flush the
transmission, the technician
should drain and refill it with
Honda ATF-Z1, then drive the
vehicle for a short distance. Do
this three times. Then drain and
refill the transmission a final time.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.
Remove the dipstick and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks within the HOT range.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Shut off the engine.
Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission securely.
If the level is below the lower
mark, add fluid into the filler hole
to bring it to the level between the
upperandlowermarks.
