Honda Accord: Transmission Fluid
• Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Fluid
Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
NOTICE
Do not mix HCF-2 with other transmission fluids.
Using a transmission fluid other than HCF-2 may adversely affect the operation and durability of your vehicle's transmission, and damage the transmission.
Any damage caused by using a transmission fluid that is not equivalent to HCF-2 is not covered by Honda's new vehicle warranty.
• Manual Transmission Fluid
Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
If Honda MTF is not available, you may use the API certificated SAE 0 W-20 or 5 W-20 viscosity motor oil as a temporary measure.
Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor oil does not contain the proper additives for the transmission and continued use can cause decreased shifting performance and lead to transmission damage.
• Automatic Transmission Fluid
Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
NOTICE
Do not mix Honda ATF DW-1 with other transmission fluids.
Using a transmission fluid other than Honda ATF DW-1 may adversely affect the operation and durability of your vehicle's transmission, and damage the transmission.
