Engine Oil Level Check
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Insert and remove the dipstick
without screwing it into the filler
neck. Check the oil level shown
on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, add oil to
reach the upper limit mark on
the dipstick. Do not overfill. If
the engine is overfilled, the
excess oil may transfer to the
air cleaner housing and filter.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a low
oil level can cause engine
damage.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick
securely.
Engine Oil Recommendations
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W-30 is
recommended for
general use. Other
viscosities shown in the
chart may be used when
the average temperature
in your area is within the
recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity and
service classification are in the API label on the oil container.
Honda recommends that you use API SERVICE category SH or
SJ oil with the API certification mark displayed on the container.
