r1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid {MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the orooer additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect
shift qualitv.+3r Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.*4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmis-
