Hey yall
how can I check the trans oil oil level on a d16y8?. I think its a y8? Car is a 00 civic ex coupe 5spd.
Thnks

 

Remove the filler bolt and stick your finger in there

 

There are 2 bolts on the trans one at the bottom and one further up. You drain from the bottom and fill from the top. Keep the car perfectly level, engine off and cold. Leave bottom plug in place and fill through the top hole until oil comes back out of that top hole. Its designed so that it cant be overfilled and will just come back out if you do. Once the hole has stopped leaking fluid back out put the plug in and your done. As a side note i only suggest using the Honda MTF in the trans, its available at Honda dealership parts counters.

You will most likely need a funnel with a piece of flexable tubing on it to fill it. If you wanted to change the oil you would just remove and drain the bottom plug first. Then replace bottom plug and fill from the top just like i said.
