According to the manual, an oil change is 5.0 quarts with filter change and it specifies 5W-30 weight. The tranny takes 3.5 quarts of Honda ATF or an equivalent DEXRON II fluid. The differential takes 1.11 quarts of a GL4 or GL5 hypoid gear oil of SAE 90 weight above 0 degrees F or 80W-90 below 0 degrees.

Newer Honda auto trannies specify DEXRON III as a temporary replacement (if Honda ATF-Z1 is not available) but the manual for the 1992 Legend specifies Honda Premium ATF or an equivalent DEXRON II fluid. Perhaps the DEXRON III was not available when the manual was printed in 1992.
I'm quite sure a Legend weighs less than 4000 lbs. but be careful and err on the side of caution. It's best to use jacks/jackstands with higher ratings than you need.

In one of your new threads, you're asking about a rough 1-2 shift and then ask if you should stick to Honda MTF. The info I gave you was for an automatic transmission -- if you've got a stick obviously don't put ATF in it.

lol no, that would take years, there should be a drain/fill plug, which i'm not too fond of.
do u have a service manual?
