Adding Oil
To
add
oil,
unscrew and remove the
engine oil fill cap on top of the left
valve cover.
Pour in
the
oil,
and
replace
the
engine oil
fill
cap.
Tighten it securely. Wait a few
minutes and
recheck
the

not
fill
above
the
upper mark; you
could damage the engine.
Recommended Oil
Oil
is a major contributor to your
engine's performance and longevity.
Always use a premium-grade deter-
gent
oil.
It
is highly recommended
that you use Genuine Honda Motor
oil in your vehicle for as long as you
own it.
You can determine an oil's
SAE
viscosity and Service Classification
from
the
API Service label on
the
oil
container.
A fuel-efficient oil is recommended
for your Honda.
This
is shown on the
API Service label by the words
"Energy Conserving."
This
oil
is
formulated to help your engine use
less fuel.
Engine
Oil
The
API Service label also tells you
the
service classification of the
oil.
Always use an
oil
that
is labeled "API
Service SJ."
This
service rating may
include other classifications, such as
CD.
These
additional classifications
are not a problem, as long as the
label also carries
the
SJ
classification.
