NOTE: The following information as marked *1, *2 and *3 on above chart details for 1997 model:

*1: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect

shift quality.

*2: Always use Genuine Honda DOT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the

life of the system.

*3: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid-V or S. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic

transmission fluid can cause increase wear and poor steering in cold weather.ProCarManuals.com

The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell

you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight. Select the oil for

your car according to this chart:

Ambient Temperature

-20

An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for

improved fuel economy and year-round protection in

the car. You may use a 10W - 30 oil if the climate in your

area is limited to the temperature range shown on the

chart.
