Drain the engine oil, and retighten the drain bolt securely.
Remove the oil filter, and drain the oil into a suitable container.
Dispose the used oil and filter in a manner compatible with the
environment.
Use an oil filter socket, rather than a strap wrench, to avoid
striking and damaging the oil pressure switch.
Clean the filter mounting base, and coat the seal of the new oil
filter with clean engine oil.
Use only a genuine Honda oil filter or a filter of equivalent
quality specified for your model. Using the wrong filter, or a
non-Honda filter which is not of equivalent quality, may cause
engine damage.
Screw on the new oil filter by hand until the seal contacts the
filter mounting base, then use an oil filter socket tool to tighten
the filter an additional 7/8 turn.
Oil filter tightening torque: 22 N·m (2.2 kgf·m , 16 lbf·ft)
Refill the crankcase with the specified amount of the
recommended oil (see page
). Reinstall the oil filler cap and
dipstick.
Start the engine, and check for leaks.
Stop the engine, and check the oil level as described on page .
If necessary, add oil to bring the oil level to the upper limit mark
on the dipstick.
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the filler cap, drain bolt and washer.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on
the dipstick with the recommended oil.
Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain
bolt and new washer, and tighten the drain bolt securely.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s
Limited Warranty.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop
the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, fill to the upper limit, and check the oil level regularly.
Reinstall the filler cap and dipstick securely. 4.
