ATF Replacement

NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), and turn the engine off.
3. Remove the ATF filler bolt and drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF).

NOTE: If a cooler cleaning is done, refer to ATF Cooler Cleaning.





4. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B). Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque.
5. Refill the transmission with the recommended fluid through the filler hole (A). Always use Honda ATF DW-1 (ATF-Z1 has been replaced with ATF DW-1, Honda Service News Nov 2010) Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.





6. Install the ATF filler bolt (B) and a new sealing washer (C).
7. Check that the fluid level is between the upper mark and lower mark on the dipstick.
