From the service manual:

Remove the oil filler plug and washer
Remove the drain plug and washer
Clean the drain plug and install with a new washer (45Nm torque)
Refill the oil (0.77 litres approx) to filler hole (with car level)
Reinstall filler plug with new washer (45 Nm torque)

See my sig for Amsoil MTF (Honda approved) and LE607. OEM tranny fluid is really good also and available from HTG along with the 607...

Jack car up place on stand get under (jack same sidefiller plug is at, and make sure the car is on the level), drop old oil, replace drain plug, over fill with oil - place drip tray underneith, lower to gound excess runs out, jack back up put filler plug back in - Job done( Guide complete )

Squeezy bottle with tube is really usful for getting new oil in, all halfords gearbox oils seem to come with them - I just kept a bottle to use to get the decent stuf in.

Thanks JD
No problems mate.

All information I have provided "IS" correct . I spent a good hour with the parts guys at Honda, and checked and double checked with the grading from their computers.

This Is why I get Honda fluids, as these are what the car was tested with and come reccomended with the car. Any fluid which is not not correct can have serious concequences over time.

I deliberateley over did quantities for case of spillages.

I love the workshop manual - it's b0ll0cks!

Good luck getting a torque wrench that'll do the filler plug

And more to the point, 45nm is a low rating for these.
