Additional Notes

  • The Honda Accord VI CG/CH manual transaxle holds 2 liters at dry fill across all listed 2.3 i-VTEC configurations, whether for the USA or Canadian market. A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit from empty.
  • The service fill capacity across all rows is 1.9 liters, which is 0.1 liters less than the dry fill. A service fill accounts for residual fluid that remains in the transaxle after a standard drain, meaning a routine fluid change does not require the full 2-liter volume.
  • The Canadian-market 2.3 i-VTEC for 1998-2000 carries a change interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, while the same engine in the USA market for the same years specifies a considerably longer normal-use interval of 90,000 miles or 72 months.
  • For the USA-market 2.3 i-VTEC covering 1998-2000, severe use conditions reduce the change interval to 30,000 miles or 24 months, compared to the 90,000-mile or 72-month interval assigned to normal use for the same configuration.
  • The 2001-2002 USA-market 2.3 i-VTEC extends the normal-use interval further to 120,000 miles or 72 months, which is a notably longer mileage threshold than the 90,000-mile figure specified for the 1998-2000 USA-market variant under the same use condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2001-2002 USA-market 2.3 i-VTEC specifies a change interval of 60,000 km or 36 months, matching the interval listed for the 2001-2002 Canadian-market variant under normal use conditions.
  • The Canadian-market 2.3 i-VTEC for 2001-2002 shifts from a mileage-based interval to a kilometer-based one, specifying 60,000 km or 36 months under normal use, whereas the 1998-2000 Canadian specification was expressed in miles at 30,000 miles or 24 months.
