Honda MTF and it's about 2.3 quarts according to the Helms manaul. If you searched you would have found the answer very easily.

 

Usually almost 2 1/2 quarts. Drain the tranny, but the plug back with a new crush washer. Then make sure your car is pretty level, and put in about 2 1/2 quarts, and if it does not start draining out the fill hole then you need to add a little more! It is full when the fluid is level with the bottom of the fill hole.

I only use eithter Honda MTF or Kaaz!!!

perfect answer, not 2 1/2

And the car has to be level as possible- don't skimp out on filling it, there is a reason why Honda said 2.3

 

thanks alot im on me way to honda to get the stuff...

 

Make sure you get a new crush washer from the dealer

There are two different washers. The smaller of the two is the same as the oil pan fyi.

And here's a good post that follows up on this all, strangely enough we can credit OPIE?!

You can reuse the washer.

I've used GM syncromesh 2 tranny fluid changes ago. I must say...it can't beat MTF in terms of smoothness. IT got pretty crappy after only 5k miles and kept making me grind. Honda MTF =

DOod. You have to use friction modified. That is what is the good stuff.

Not recommended, because it's a crush washer... once used it's crushed and possibly won't seal right again.

I have never replaced one and never had a problem.

 

Luck= You.
no luck= Me.

ha ha &lt;/nelson&gt;

 

been using GM Synchromesh (not friction modified) for the last 20K miles, no problems getting into 1st/3rd like I had with the MTF. I never replaced the crush washer either. :shrugs:
