Hi

I tried to search that topic and I get diff results
some people say engine has to be running
some say it has to be 1 minute after engine is off

So what is the right way to check ATF fluid level in (accord 02)

Thanks

 

Engine Off

a little engine temp is good to get a really accurate reading, but not that much difference between hot engine or cold engine.

The biggest difference between checking it hot or cold will be the size of the blisters on your arm from reaching past the radiator hose. LOL

 

i ain't sticking my arm down there to check while the engine is running or just hot period. i know if you went to the dealer, they do it while its hot though. they are pretty much set up and know how to do it. otherwise, they'd always have a line out the door if they wait for a car to get cool down for and extended amount of time.

 

Engine off at normal operating temperature.

 

I Heard The Car Had To Be On And In Park While Checking ATF Level. Maybe I Was Misinformed Myself.

Most Hondas want to be checked after they're warmed up & turned off.

 

I Didnt Know That, Well Atleast Now I Know Thx
