6. Run the engine at idle speed until the ATF Temperature on the HDS data list reaches between 99-113 deg.F (37- 45 deg.C). If the temperature exceeds 113 deg.F (45 deg.C), turn the engine off, allow the transmission to cool down and turn the engine back on.
7. With the engine running, remove the level check plug (A), and make sure the ATF level is at the conditions described below.
NOTE: When the ATF temperature between 99-113 deg.F (37- 45 deg.C), the proper ATF level is about 6 mm (0.25 in) higher than the bottom of the level check plug hole.8. If necessary, add Honda ATF TYPE 3 through the level check hole until the ATF overflows, then immediately install a new level check plug.
9. Turn the engine off.
