The dealer can get you an owner's manual for you in a day or two. It's
not a 1961 Pontiac Laurentian . . You need to own a manual.

For a drawing of the engine oil dipstick that might help, go to
www.slhonda.com , "order parts online" section. Put in your car's year,
model, etc. Go to Engine, then Oil Pan-Oil Dipstick.

From googling I'm pretty sure your automatic transmission has a fill hole on
the side of the transmission, like a manual transmission on many cars. In
other words, it appears there is no transmission dipstick for your Passport.

Buy a Haynes or Chilton manual at your local Autozone for under $20, or go
to your public library (which often has one's car's repair manual, Chilton's
or other) and get the instructions for this job.

a friend of mine had a Isuzu Rodeo of that vintage and there was no dipstick
for the automatic transmission. Honda might have added one when they
rebadged it as a Passport, but I doubt it.

E Meyer,
I just confirmed that this is, in fact, the case. There is NO dipstick
for tranny and it will have to be checked manually or visually from
underneath with finger test and pulling the filler plug. However, I
cannot recall ever filling one of these units. Is there a special bottle
for squeezing fluid into tranny? I've done so for a rear end differential
with gear LUBE.
