Engine Oil, Cooling System
9. Turn off the engine, let it sit for
several minutes, then check the
oil level. If necessary, add oil to
bring the level to the upper mark
on the dipstick.
If you change your own oil, please
dispose of the used oil properly. Put
it in a sealed container and take it
to a recycling center. Do not
discard it in a trash bin or dump it
on the ground.
The oil and filter should be chang-
ed every 6 months or 12,000 km
(7,500 miles), whichever comes first.
Under severe driving conditions,
they should be changed every 3
months or 6,000 km (3,750 miles).
See page 130 for a description of
severe driving conditions.
Cooling System
Checking the Engine Coolant
Level
Check the level of the coolant by
looking at the radiator reserve tank
next to the battery. If the level is at
or below the MIN line, add coolant
to bring it up to the MAX line. This
coolant should always be a mixture
of 50% antifreeze and 50% water.
Never add straight antifreeze or
plain water.
Always use Genuine Honda Anti-
freeze/Coolant. The cooling system
contains many aluminum compo-
nents which can corrode if an
improper antifreeze is used. Some
antifreeze, even though labeled as
safe for aluminum parts, may not
provide adequate protection.
