You may use a synthetic motor oil if
it meets the same requirements
given f or a conventional motor oil: it
displays the API Certif ication Seal,
and it is the proper weight. You must
f ollow the oil and f ilter change
intervals shown on the odometer/
trip meter display or on the multi-
inf ormation display.Always change the oil and f ilter
according to the maintenance
messages shown on the odometer/
trip meter display or on the multi-

collect contaminants that can dam-
age your engine if they are not
removed regularly.
Changing the oil and f ilter requires
special tools and access f rom

should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lif t f or this service.

proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
mechanic.

require any oil additives. Additives
may adversely af f ect engine or

Always use Honda Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid DOT 3. If it is not
available, you should use only DOT 3
or DOT 4 f luid, f rom a sealed
container, as a temporary
replacement.
Using any non-Honda brake f luid can
cause corrosion and decrease the lif e
of the system. Have the brake
system f lushed and ref illed with
Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
DOT 3 as soon as possible.
Pour the f luid slowly and caref ully so
you do not spill any. Clean up any
spills immediately; it could damage
components in the engine
compartment.
Brake f luid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your vehicle’s
braking system and can cause
extensive damage.
Check the brake f luid level in the
reservoirs monthly.
The f luid level should be between
theMINandMAXmarksontheside
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected f or leaks or
worn brake pads.
To thoroughly f lush the transmission,
the technician should drain and ref ill
it with Honda ATF-Z1, then drive the
vehicle f or a short distance. Do this
three times. Then drain and ref ill the
transmission a f inal time.
Insert the dipstick all the way back
into the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.
The transmission should be drained
and ref illed with new f luid when this
service is indicated on a maintenance
message on the odometer/trip meter
display or on the multi-inf ormation
display.
If you are not sure how to add f luid,
contact your dealer. Replace the brake f luid according to
thetimerecommendationsinthe
