ATF Replacement

NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission.
  1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), and turn the engine off.
  2. Raise the vehicle on a lift, or apply the parking brake, block both rear wheels, and raise the front of the vehicle. Make sure it is securely supported.
  3. Remove the splash shield.
  4. 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 (see ATF COOLER CLEANING ).

  5. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).
  6. Refill the transmission with the recommended fluid into the filler hole (A). Always use Honda ATF-Z1 Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
