just go with the oem honda fulid get 3 quarts cause it'll take near 2 1/2.. use the other half to like flush it or something.. also dont try pouring all this fulid in that little hole on top of the tranny... i've seen many people do this and i laugh about it... just fill it where that 17mm bolt is behide the pass axle... you see it you wont miss it...


you can get the funnel at wal mart... for $3 it has a tube long enough to reach that hole and fill..
