Honda recommend the gearbox oil be replaced every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 8 years. Mines only done 60K, but as the sun was out (and I had the stuff in the garage) I thought I’d do it a bit early.
You’re going to need 2.2 litres of MTF3 gearbox oil. Chances are you’re only going to do this job once (twice at most), during your ownership so don’t skimp by using cheapo 3rd party fluid.
You’re also going to need three aluminium crush washers. The sizes are shown in case you want to try and get them from your local motor factors rather than Honda.
In addition to the usual 8mm and 10mm sockets, you’re going to need a long socket extension bar, a funnel with a long spout (or a standard one with about a foot of hosepipe pushed over the end) and a square plug key. I imagine you really need a 10mm square key, but my imperial 3/8” key worked just fine, and you might get away with a 3/8” drive ratchet with no socket on the end.
