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

Reassembly

NOTE:

• Clean the disassembled parts with a solvent, and dry them with compressed air. Do not dip the rubber parts in a sol-

vent.

• Always replace the O-rings and rubber seals with new ones before assembly.

• Apply the recommended power steering fluid to the parts indicated in the assembly procedures.

• Do not allow dust, dirt, or other foreign materials to enter the power steering system.

• Use the appropriate special tools where necessary.

This vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons. Pay attention to the follow-

ing service items:

Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). They are not compatible.

Use only the recommended polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8) designed for the R-134a compressor.

Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other refrigerant oil will result in compressor failure.

All A/C system parts (compressor, discharge line, suction line, evaporator, condenser, receiver/dryer, expansion valve.

O-rings for joints) have to be proper for refrigerant R-134a. Do not confuse with R-12 parts.

Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a.

R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a Recovery/Recycling/Charging System

that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning systems.

Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved Recovery/Recycling/Charging System before disconnecting

any A/C fitting.
