HONDA 2003 Accord Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 310)

Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature. Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.
Park the car on level ground. Shut
off the engine. Make sure the notch in the rubber
cap fits in the dipstick guide and
that you push the dipstick in all
the way.
Remove the dipstick and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.
If the level is below the lower
mark, add fluid into the dipstick
tube to bring it to the upper mark.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully
so you do not spill. Clean up any
spills immediately. Spilled fluid
could damage components in the
engine compartment.
Always use Honda ATF-Z1
(Automatic Transmission Fluid). If
it is not available, you may use a
DEXRON III automatic
transmission fluid as a temporary
replacement. However, continued
use can affect shift quality. Have
the transmission flushed and
refilled with Honda ATF-Z1 as
soon as it is convenient.
