Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and various work procedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
Lubrication Points | Lubricant
--- | ---
A | Engine | ACEA service grade: ACEA A1/B1 or ACEA A3/B3 fuel-efficent oilSAE/ACEA viscosity: See chart.
B | Manual transmission | Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) Always use genuine Honda MTF * . Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does not contain the proper additives.
C | Brake system (including VSA line) | Brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4 We recommend genuine Honda Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
D | Clutch line | Brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4
E F G | Throttle cable end (throttle link) Shift and select cable ends (manual transmission) Release fork (manual transmission) | Super High Temp Urea Grease (P/N 41211-PY5-305)
H I | Throttle cable ends (below dashboard) Door opening detent | Silicone grease
J K L M N O P Q | Brake booster clevis Clutch master cylinder clevis Battery terminals Pedal linkage Fuel fill door Hood hinges and hood latch Door hinges Tailgate hinges | Multipurpose grease
R | Caliper piston boot, caliper pins, and boots | Caliper grease
S | Power steering system | Honda PSF-II Always use genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.
T | Air conditioning compressor | Compressor oil: DENSO ND-OIL 8 (P/N 38897-PR7-003, 38898-PR7-003 or 38899-PR7-A01)
*: | If it is not available, use API service SJ or higher grade motor oil with a viscosity of SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 as a temporary replacement.
