Help assure your car’s f uture
reliability and perf ormance by paying
extra attention to how you drive
during the f irst 600 miles (1,000 km).
Using gasoline containing lead will
damage your car’s emissions
controls. This contributes to air
pollution.
In Canada, some gasolines contain
an octane-enhancing additive called
MMT. If you use such gasolines,
your emission control system
perf ormance may deteriorate and
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
your instrument panel may turn on.
If this happens, contact your
authorized Honda dealer f or service.
We recommend gasolines containing
detergent additives that help prevent
f uel system and engine deposits.
If you are unable to f ind premium
unleaded gasoline, you may substi-
tute an unleaded regular gasoline.
The engine will compensate f or the
lower octane, but you may notice a
slight decrease in power as a result.
Your Honda is designed to operate
on premium unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number of 91 or higher.

The numbers on the container’s label
tell you the oil’s viscosity or weight.
Select the oil f or your car according
to this chart.
You may use a synthetic motor oil if
it meets the same requirements
given f or conventional motor oil:
energy conserving, a service
classif ication of SJ, and the proper
weightasshownonthechart.When
using synthetic oil, you must f ollow
the oil and f ilter change intervals
given in the maintenance schedule.Your Honda does not need any oil
additives. Purchasing additives f or
the engine or transmission will not
increase your car’s perf ormance or
longevity. It only increases the cost
of operating your car.
An oil with a viscosity of 10W-30 is
pref erred f or optimum f uel economy
and year-round protection in your
Honda. You may use a 5W-40 oil if
the temperature in your area goes
below 0°F ( 20°C).
