2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID automatic transmission fluid

Check the f luid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.If the level is below the lower
mark, add f luid into the f iller hole
to bring it to the level between the
upper and lower marks.
Pour the f luid slowly and caref ully
so you do not spill any. Clean up
any spills immediately; it could
damage components in the engine
compartment.
Always use Honda ATF-Z1
(Automatic Transmission Fluid). If
it’s not available, you may use a
DEXRON
III automatic
transmission f luid as a temporary
replacement. However, continued
use can affect the shift quality.
Have the transmission flushed and
ref illed with Honda ATF-Z1 as
soon as it is convenient.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
f rom the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.
Remove the dipstick and check
the f luid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks within the HOT range.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Shut of f the engine.
NOTE: For accurate results, wait at
least 60 seconds, and no more than
90 seconds, af ter turning of f the
engine to check the f luid level. 3.
