Lubricants and Fluids

Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

For the details of the lubrication points and the type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and the various work procedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
Application
Lubricant or Fluid
A
Engine
Always use API service grade SL or higher SAE viscosity: See chart.

Always use genuine Honda MTF * . Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does not contain the proper additives.
Automatic transmission
Honda ATF-Z1
Always use genuine Honda ATF-Z1. Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
C
D
Brake system (including ABS lines)
Clutch system (manual transmission)
