Engine Oil
You can determine an oil's SAE
viscosity and Service Classification
from the API Service label on the oil
A fuel-efficient oil is recommended
for your Honda. This is shown on the
API Service label by the words
"Energy Conserving." This oil is
formulated to help your engine use
less fuel.
The API Service label also tells you
the service classification of the oil.
Always use an oil that is labeled "API
Service SJ." This service rating may
include other classifications, such as
CD. These additional classifications
are not a problem, as long as the
label also carries the SJ classification.
The oil container may also display
the API Certification seal. Make sure
it says "For Gasoline Engines."
