ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in your
area is within the recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity and service classification are in the API label on
the oil container. Honda recommends that you use API SERVICE
category SH, SJ, or SL oil with the ILSAC “starburst” certification mark
displayed on the container.
