Checking Tranny Fluid on 05 Civic Hybrid
I happened to check the dipstick on the civic with the engine off and it
appeared low to me. My question is whether it's supposed to be checked with the engine running or not. And if so, how long should it be run before checking the level? Thanks.. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

That's the only way to get an accurate reading of what's in the crankcase. Not sure why it would be different on a hybrid, but as Jim said, RTFM! ;-) Dan D '07 Ody EX Central NJ USA |

Between 60 and 90 seconds after shutting the engine off, check the fluid level. Do not check before 60 seconds or after 90 seconds. No, I'm not kidding. If you need a top-up, do NOT use Dexron, only genuine Honda ATF-Z1. I am not kidding here either. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Tranbs fluid needs to be checked warm, as Tegger noted. Dan D '07 Ody EX Central NJ USA |
