Manual transmission fluid

Match the fluid to the exact transmission, not just the vehicle model. A drain-and-refill amount differs from the total dry capacity.

Configuration-specific service and fitment facts

These sourced values are shared by the specification sheet and the maintenance guides for this exact configuration.

Manual transmission fluid: Honda MTF Verified
Manual transmission refill: 2.3 US qt Verified

Level and compatibility: Use the specified fluid and the transmission-specific level-check procedure. Conventional ATF, belt-CVT fluid and manual gear oil are not interchangeable.
Service requirements: Honda directs dealer inspection and fluid changes. Specify Honda MTF; the 2.0 L manual-transmission change quantity is 2.2 L (2.3 US qt), not a dry capacity. Do not use the 1.5 L 1.9 L amount or a CVT fluid.
