Transmission Fluid Manual Transmission Fluid Use only Honda ATF DW-1 (automatic transmission fluid). Do not mix with other transmission fluids. Using transmission fluid other than Honda ATF DW-1 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 ATF DW-1 is not covered by the Honda new vehicle warranty. 6. Insert the dipstick all the way back into the transmission securely as shown in the illustration. If you are not sure how to add fluid, contact your dealer. FILLER BOLT Put a new washer on the filler bolt, then 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 continued use can cause stiffer shifting. Replace as soon as it is convenient. If you are not sure how to check and add fluid, contact your dealer. Correct level WASHER Check the fluid level with the transmission at normal operating temperature and the vehicle on level ground. 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. 262
