LUBRICATION POINTS AND LUBRICANTS SPECIFICATIONS
| Lubrication Points | Lubricant | |
|---|---|---|
| A | Engine | Honda Motor Oil: American Honda P/N 08798-9023 (5W-20), Honda Canada P/N CA66806 (5W-20) Look for the API certification seal on the oil container. Make sure it says "For Gasoline Engines." SAE viscosity: See chart. |
| B | Manual transmission | Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF): P/N 08798-9031 Always use Honda MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does not contain the proper additives. |
| Automatic transmission | Honda Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF-Z1): American Honda P/N 08200-9001, Honda Canada P/N CA66689 Always use Honda ATF-Z1. Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality. |
|
| C | Brake system (including ABS lines) | Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008 Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system. |
| D | Clutch line (manual transmission) | Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008 Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system. |
| E | Brake booster clevis pin | Multipurpose Grease |
| F | Clutch master cylinder clevis pin (manual transmission) | |
| G | Release fork (manual transmission) | |
| H | Shift lever (manual transmission) | |
| I | Battery terminals | |
| J | Fuel fill door | |
| K | Hood hinges and hood latch | |
| L | Tailgate hinges | |
| M | Rear brake shoe linkage | Rubber Grease |
| N | Brake caliper piston seals | |
| O | Shift cable ends (manual transmission) | Honda Silicone Grease: P/N 08C30-B0234M |
| P | Caliper piston boots, caliper pins, and boots | |
| Q | Air conditioning compressor | Compressor oil: SP-10 (P/N 38897-P13-A01AH, 38898-P13-003, or 38899-P13-A01) for refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) |
| R | Cooling system | Honda Long Life Antifreeze/coolant-Type 2: P/N OL999-9011 |
