  2. Park the vehicle on the level ground, and turn the engine off.

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