Quick Reference

The following is a brief, but important collection of information you 
need to know about your Honda. You’ll also find space to record 
important notes.

The engine of your Honda can be the most expensive component to 
repair. Proper 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).

Record important information on the following page:
