Additional Notes

  • The Honda Accord V CE/CD manual transaxle holds 2 liters at initial fill, which represents the total fluid volume required when the unit is dry, such as after a rebuild or replacement.
  • The service fill capacity across all listed configurations is 1.9 liters, reflecting the slightly lesser volume needed when some residual fluid remains in the transaxle after a drain.
  • The 0.1-liter difference between initial fill and service fill is consistent across both the 2.2 DX/LX and 2.2 VTEC EX trims for the 1993-1997 model years, indicating a uniform transaxle design between those variants.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.2 DX and LX manual 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 and LX transaxle requires a fluid change at 12,000 miles or 12 months, cutting the normal-use interval in half.
  • The 2.2 VTEC EX shares the same normal-use interval of 24,000 miles or 24 months for manual transaxle fluid changes as the DX and LX trims.
  • Severe use conditions for the 2.2 VTEC EX also reduce the change interval to 12,000 miles or 12 months, matching the pattern seen in the DX and LX specifications.
