Just needing to know info on an Auto (i know, flame me later)

How much fluid does a 93 civic auto take?
Do you check level with car running or off?
Do you check level with car Hot or cold?
Is there a certain fluid type that is better?

 

I'll answer as much as I can.

2.5 quarts, pretty much all Honda cars take that much, from Civics to TLs.

Use Honda ATF, supposed to be the best for Honda transmissions.

 

use honda atf. check it with the car hot and the engine turned OFF.

 

thankya, after puttin 2qts and actually registering something on the dip stick, car is hella happier, it shifts quicker and i dont have to wait as long for the vtec to kick in. Thanx alot

 

Whoa, you were actually down 2 quarts of ATF? That must have sucked, I drove a car down on ATF once, shifts delayed like a mofo. On the highway and punching the gas, the shift would hesitate for about 3 seconds, the bam, downshift and car would take off.

 

i thought u had a dx?

 

You're going to be replacing your transmission within the next 10,000 miles dude. I can't remember exactly, but you need 5.9 quarts if it is completely empty and like 3.x if you flush it. ATF won't help your VTEC "kick in."
