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 be transferred 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.
