Always change the oil and filter
according to the time and distance
(kilometers/miles) recommenda-
tions in the maintenance schedule.
The oil and filter collect contami-
nants that can damage your engine if
they are not removed regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the car. The car should
be raised on a service station-type
hydraulic lift for this service. Unless
you have the knowledge and proper
equipment, you should have this
maintenance done by a skilled
technician.
Your Honda does not require any oil
additives. Additives may adversely
affect your engine’s or transmission’s
performance and durability.
Select the proper SAE viscosity oil
for your car according to this chart:
Always use a fuel-efficient oil that
says ‘‘API Service SJ or SL.’’ This oil
is formulated to help your engine use
less fuel.
