Maintenance

Recommended Engine Oil

Use a genuine engine oil or another commercial engine oil of suitable type and

viscosity (for the ambient temperature) as shown in the image that follows.

Oil is a major contributor to your engine's performance and longevity. If you drive

the vehicle with insufficient or deteriorated oil, the engine may fail or be damaged.

See the engine oil fill cap markings in the image that follows and on the actual cap

to check if the vehicle is equipped with a gasoline particulate filter

2 Adding Engine Oil P. 525

1Recommended Engine Oil

Engine Oil Additives

You cannot use Engine Oil Additives.

Your vehicle does not require oil additives. In fact,

they may adversely affect the engine performance

and durability.

The following seal indicates the oil is energy

conserving and that it meets the American Petroleum

Institute’s latest requirements.

uuMaintenance Under the BonnetuOil Check

Maintenance

Oil Check

We recommend that you check the engine oil level every time you refuel.

Park the vehicle on level ground.

Turn off the power system. You can check the oil level without the engine having

run beforehand. If the engine has been running, wait approximately three minutes

before you check the oil.

1. Remove the dipstick (orange).

2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or

paper towel.

3. Insert the dipstick back all the way into its

hole.

4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the

level. It should be between the upper and

lower marks. Add oil if necessary.

1Oil Check

If the oil level is near or below the lower mark, slowly

add oil, being careful not to overfill.

The amount of oil consumed depends on how the

vehicle is driven and the climatic and road conditions

encountered. The rate of oil consumption can be up

to 1 litre per 1,000 km/625 miles.

Consumption is likely to be higher when the engine is

new.

uuMaintenance Under the BonnetuCooling System

Maintenance

Cooling System

This coolant is premixed with 50% antifreeze and 50% water. Do not add any

straight antifreeze or water.

We recommend you check the engine coolant level every time you refuel. Check the

reserve tank first. If it is completely empty, also check the coolant level in the

radiator. Add the engine coolant accordingly.

1. Make sure the engine and radiator are

cool.

2. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve

tank.

u If the coolant level is below the MIN

mark, add the specified coolant until it

reaches the MAX mark.

Specified coolant: Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2

■

Reserve Tank

1Cooling System

NOTICE

If temperatures consistently below -30°C are

expected, the coolant mixture should be changed to

a higher concentration. Consult your Honda dealer

for details about a suitable coolant mixture.

If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you may

use another major brand of non-silicate coolant as a

temporary replacement. Check that it is a high quality

coolant recommended for aluminium engines.

Continued use of any non-Honda coolant can result

in corrosion, causing the cooling system to

malfunction or fail. Have the cooling system flushed

and refilled with Honda antifreeze/coolant as soon as

possible.

Do not add rust inhibitors or other additives to your

vehicle’s cooling system. They may not be compatible

with the coolant or with the engine components.

WARNING

Removing the radiator cap while the

engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray

out, seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine and radiator cool

down before removing the radiator cap.

uuMaintenance Under the BonnetuRefilling Window Washer Fluid

Maintenance

Refilling Window Washer Fluid

Check the amount of window washer fluid by

looking at the reservoir.

If the level is low, fill the washer reservoir.

Pour the washer fluid carefully. Do not overflow the reservoir.

Fuel Filter

Replace fuel filter according to the time and distance recommendations in the

maintenance schedule.

Have a qualified technician change the fuel filter. Fuel in the system can spray out

and create a hazard if all fuel line connections are not handled correctly.

1Refilling Window Washer Fluid

Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water

solution in the windscreen washer reservoir.

Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A

vinegar/water solution can damage the windscreen

washer pump.

Use only commercially available windscreen washer

fluid.

Avoid prolonged use of hard water to prevent lime

scale buildup.

1Fuel Filter

The fuel filter should be replaced according to the

service reminder indication.
