Application Lubricant or Fluid

API CERTIFICATION SEAL
For details of the lubrication points and the type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and the various work procedures (such
as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.


A Engine Acura Motor Oil:
K20Z2: P/N CA66808 (5W-20)
K20Z3: P/N CA66807 (5W-30)
Look for the API certification seal on the oil container. Make sure it says ‘‘For
Gasoline Engines.’’ SAE viscosity: See chart.
B Manual transmission Acura Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF): P/N 08798-9033C Always use Acura MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the proper additives.
Automatic transmission Acura Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF-Z1): P/N CA66704 Always use Acura ATF-Z1. Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift quality.
C
D Brake system (including VSA lines)
Clutch system (manual transmission) Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008
Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can
cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.

N Air conditioning compressor Compressor Oil: SP-10 (P/N 38897-P13-A01AH) for refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a)
O Cooling system Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2: P/N CA66688

INFORMATION DISPLAY
SEL/RESET BUTTON
The maintenance minder is an important feature of the information display. Based on engine and transmission
operating conditions, the Acura CSX’s onboard computer (ECM/PCM) calculates the remaining engine oil and the
automatic transmission fluid life. The system also displays the remaining engine oil life along with the code(s) for
other scheduled maintenance items needing service.
