For the details of lubrication points and types of lubricants to be appl\
ied, refer to the illustrated index and various work
procedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Install\
ation, etc.) contained in each section.
*1: Always use Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can \
cause stiffer shifting because it does not contain theproper additives.
*2: Always use Honda ATF-Z1 (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift \
quality.
*3: Always use Honda Heavy Duty DOT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fl\
uid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
