Maintenance
Recommended Engine Oil
Oil is a major contributor to your engine's 
performance and longevity. If you drive the 
vehicle with insufficient  or deteriorated oil, 
the engine may fail or be damaged.
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving 
and that it meets the American Petroleum 
Institute’s latest requirements.
Use a Genuine Honda Motor Oil or another 
commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for 
the ambient temperature as shown here.
■Synthetic oil
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it  is labeled with the API Certification Seal 
and is the specified viscosity grade.
• Genuine Honda Motor Oil
• Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with  an API Certification Seal on the 
container.1 Recommended Engine Oil
Engine Oil Additives
Your vehicle does not require  oil additives. In fact, 
they may adversely affect the engine performance 
and durability.
