Checking the automatic transmission fluid of your 2004 Honda Civic is a straightforward and easy process. To begin, locate the air filter and look for the dipstick tab near it. Pull up on the dipstick to inspect the level of the transmission fluid.
Before checking the level, use a rag to wipe the dipstick clean. Then, reinsert the dipstick into the transmission and check the level of the fluid. It should be between the two dashed lines on the dipstick.
After you finish checking the transmission fluid, ensure that the area remains clean to prevent any dirt from entering. If you need to change the transmission fluid, you will require a 3/8 inch drive ratchet to remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the transmission.
