Additional Notes

  • The Honda Accord V CE/CD (USA/CAN) automatic transaxle holds 6 liters at initial fill, which represents the total fluid volume required when the unit is dry, such as during a full overhaul or replacement.
  • The service fill capacity across all listed configurations is 2.4 liters, reflecting the partial volume exchanged during a routine drain-and-fill procedure, since a standard drain does not evacuate the torque converter or all internal passages.
  • Both the 2.2 DX/LX and the 2.2 VTEC EX share identical initial and service fill capacities of 6 liters and 2.4 liters respectively, indicating no transaxle volume difference between those two engine variants for 1993-1997.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.2 DX/LX automatic transaxle fluid change interval is set at 24,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 2.2 DX/LX transaxle requires fluid changes at 12,000 miles or 12 months, cutting the normal-use interval in half.
  • The 2.2 VTEC EX follows the same interval structure as the DX/LX, with a 24,000-mile or 24-month interval under normal use and a 12,000-mile or 12-month interval under severe use conditions.
  • The halving of the change interval from normal to severe conditions across all listed configurations reflects the increased thermal and mechanical stress that more demanding operating environments place on automatic transmission fluid over time.
