It should be in your handbook.

 

It takes less than a quart use Amsoil 75W-110

You need a pump to get it in. Wrench size is odd too, I think it is like 23mm or something. Do not expect to have it in your tool box. Get the washer from your local Honda dealer, if you think you really need it, he will have the number. On line you can end up paying 10 bucks shipping for a dollar washer.

Here is a pump, you can buy similar at any auto parts store.

Pump

I used a 23mm socket that I chopped in half (depth) to get to the diff fill bolt, it's a bit of a pain.

 

The drain and fill are different bolt head sizes. Good ole' Honda! 23mm and 24mm.

Holds less than a quart. Just keep pumping until it runs out the fill port and then cap it off. Gotta be level when doing this.

Using that technique is fine if the car is level what about if you have the rear of the car jacked up for access

 

You'll get a bit more in than specified which isn't a bad thing.

 

Unless you've filled it to the brim, it's nothing to be too concerned about. They take a little under a litre from experience

 

Thanks for the help will be getting it ordered soon along with all other fluids ready for a spring full service

 

I used that pump a few times and the rubber hose connecting to the pump is not very secure, often came loose and spill oil everywhere. I am going to try a new pump next time.
