NorE: The items m arked * 1, *2, +3, *4 and +5 on above chan are described as folows:*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.+3: Use Genuine Honda cVTfluid only usingotherfluid can affect tra nsmission operation and may reduce transmission life.*4: Always use Genuine Honda DoT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and dec.ease the lifeof the svstem.*5: Always use Genuine Honda Power steering Fluid. using any other type of power steering fluid or automatrc transmissionfluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

3. Reinstall the drain bolt with a new washer. and rbfill
the engine with the recommended oil.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, the oil filter should be
replaced at every other oil change Under severe condi-
tions, the oilfilter should be replaced at each oil change'
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell
you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight Select the oil for
vour car according to this chart:
30 20 -10 010 20 30 4OoC
An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for
improved tuel 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'
