Thanks.

One last question..I see in my FSM that it takes 1.9 U.S. quarts for
oil change..The fill/drain plugs look parallel to the grou

I'm going to ask a stupid question..How to get the oil from the jug t
the filler plug ?

Long hose and a funnel ? Turkey Baster ? Something else

Thanks
loosen the 2 bolts found on the side of the transmission as illistrated
http://media.honda.co.uk/car/owner/m...l/pdf/13-3.pdf
and refill it using a long hose and funnel pour in just under 2 bottles of 10w3
synthetic motor oil wont quite take 2 bottles but keep pouring it in until you se
it draining out put back the top bolt tighten it up and for just under $20.00 you
done! with the rest of the $$ you saved take your buddy out for a drink =
