The Honda Accord is a medium-size sedan and coupe sold in the United States since the late 1970s. The Accord offers customers two engine choices: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter V-6. The models have differing fluid capacities, including engine oil, transmission and coolant.

This engine requires 6.4 qts. of coolant with the automatic transmission or 6.5 qts. with the manual transmission. For the B90A automatic transmission, 6.9 qts. of transmission fluid are required. For the B97A automatic transmission 8 qts. are required. Four-cylinder Honda Accords paired with manual transmissions require 4.1 pts. of transmission fluid.
