The hatched area on a dipstick typically indicates the optimal level of fluid, such as oil or Transmission Fluid, that should be present in the engine. This marked section serves as a guide to help users determine whether the fluid level is within the acceptable range. If the fluid level falls outside this area, it may require addition or removal to ensure proper engine function. Always check the vehicle's manual for specific details regarding dipstick markings.

Where is the transmission dipstick on a 1985 Honda Civic hatchback?

An automatic transmission has a screw-in type dipstick under the battery and its a real pain to get to. First, locate it and clean it and the surrounding area off any dirt so that it doesn't get into the trans when you're ready to check the trans fluid level. Run the engine at idle, select each gear position pausing for several seconds in each detent, then shut off the motor once you get back to park. Wriggle your arm down to the dipstick, unscrew it, wipe it off and put it back into the trans but DO NOT SCREW IT BACK IN. Remove it and look at the fluid level. The fluid should be in the "cross hatched" area on the dipstick. You're going to need a funnel with a long tube on it to add any fluid. DON'T OVERFILL IT.
