3 quarts of Honda manual tranny fluid (kinda costly)
-or-
3 quarts of your favorite Synthetic blend 10w30 motor oil.

id add three then top off by using measurement stick till full (cold mark) don't forget to recheck it after driving a short distance as all the nooks and crannys get new oil washed into them might take a bit more to top off (hot mark)

Depends on your engine.

To Drain and Fill Transmission is will take 4 quarts (3.8qts) use ONLY HONDA APPROVED TRANSMISSION FLUID. Honda has a patten on there fluid which includes an additive that is designed for there transmission. Other brands claim that there product is compatible. Use OEM fluid only. a COMPLETELY empty transmission holds 16 QUARTS of fluid.

I have been working on cars for 40 years, however, I take my car to trhe local oil change shop for any needed transmission oil changes. It is messy and if you don't use the correct fluid or the proper amount you will end up paying a lot more than the cost of a transmission service. The entire transmission system should be flushed which requires the proper equipment. If you pull the trans pan and drain the 3 or 4 quarts of oil from the pan you will still leave several more quarts (5-6) of dirty oil in system. Let the professionals do the transmission service.

Just my opinion.

My 1997 Caravan manual states that the trans fluid capacity is 8.5 quarts. However, in the transmission oil change section, it says to drop the pan, drain the oil, replace the filter and add 4 quarts of new fluid. This tells me that the torque converter is not draining so you are in fact, only changing "half" of the transmission fluid.

too bad the 2004 doesn't have a dip stick to check the fluid level.

Hello paige farrar: Depending on the transmission the fluid and capacity is as follows. Automatic to drain and refill using Dexron type 3 fluid. Is 2.46 us quarts of oil. On a overhaul the amount is 7.3 us quarts. If you have a standard transmission the fluid to use is GL 4 gear oil. Should hold 2.64 us quarts of oil. Thank You for using FixYa. If you need further assistance please just ask. Roger
