Maintenance Schedule
The Required Maintenance
Schedule specifies how often you
should have your car serviced, and
what things need attention. It is
essential that your car be serviced
as scheduled to retain its high level
of safety, dependability, and
emission control performance.
The services and time or kilomet-
rage (mileage) intervals shown in
the maintenance schedule assume
you will use your car as normal
transportation for passengers and
their possessions. You should:
Avoid exceeding your car's load
limit. This puts excess strain on
the engine, brakes, and many
other parts of your car. The load
limit is shown on the label in the
glove box.
Operate your car on reasonable
roads within the legal speed limit.
Drive your car regularly over a
distance of several kilometers
(miles).
Always use unleaded gasoline
with the proper octane (see page
98).
Your authorized Honda dealer
knows your car best, and can
provide competent, efficient
service. However, service at a
dealer is not mandatory to keep
your warranties in effect. Mainte-
nance may be done by any qualified
service facility or person who is
skilled in this type of automotive
service. Keep all the receipts as
proof of completion, and have the
person who does the work fill out
the maintenance record on page
131. Check your warranty booklet
for more information.
We recommend the use of Genuine
Honda parts and fluids or their
equivalent whenever you have
maintenance done. These are the
same high-quality items that went
into your car when it was new, so
you can be sure they fit and
perform flawlessly.
U.S. Cars:
Maintenance, replacement or
repair of emission control
devices and systems may be
done by any automotive re-
pair establishment or indi-
vidual using parts that are
"certified" to EPA standards.
Vehicles sold in California have
slightly different maintenance
requirements. These are noted in
the Required Maintenance Sche-
dule. Other maintenance operations
are required by California regula-
tions, and condition the emission
warranty.
