Transmission Oil, Brake and Clutch Fluid
Only use an API Service SF or SG
grade motor oil with a viscosity of
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new oil every 24
months or 48,000 km (30,000 miles),
whichever comes first. Shorten the
service interval to every 12 months
or 24,000 km (15,000 miles) under
severe driving conditions (see page
121
).
Brake and Clutch Fluid
Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are up to three
reservoirs, depending on model.
They are:
Brake fluid reservoir (all models)
Clutch fluid reservoir
(Manual transmission only)
ABS reservoir
(U.S. EX model, and optional on
U.S. LX model)
The brake fluid in the brake and
Anti-lock brake systems should be
replaced every 2 years or 48,000 km
(30,000 miles), whichever comes
first.
Brake System
The fluid should be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the side of
the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, it is an
indication that your brake system
needs attention. Have the brake
system inspected for leaks or worn
brake pads.
