2010 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN transmission oil

Check the f luid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle sitting
on level ground.
Reinstall the under cover and put the
holding clips back in place. Make
sure the under cover is installed
under the edge of the f ront bumper.
If Honda MTF is not available, you
may use an SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40
viscosity motor oil with the API
Certif ication Seal that says ‘‘FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES’’ as a
temporary replacement. However,
motor oil does not contain the proper
additives, and continued use can
cause stif f er shif ting. Replace as
soon as it is convenient.
The transmission should be drained
and ref illed with new f luid according
to the maintenance minder (see page
).
If you are not sure how to check and
add f luid, contact your dealer.
Remove the transmission f iller bolt,
and caref ully f eel inside the bolt hole
with your f inger.
The f luid 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. Reinstall the f iller bolt, and
tighten it securely.
To check the transmission f luid level,
remove the under cover holding clips
with a flat-tip screwdriver, then
remove the under cover caref ully.
