Quick Reference

Quick Reference

collection of information you need to
know about your Honda. You’ll also find

maintenance, especially the use of the
recommended fluids and filters, prevents
premature wear and damage.

Frequent causes of costly repairs are:

Engine oil –– insufficient quantity,
improper oil.
Air cleaner –– dirty, leaking because of
improper installation (poor seal).
