Make sure the API Certification Seal
says ‘‘For Gasoline Engines.’’

The oil’s viscosity or weight is
provided on the container’s label.
5W-20 oil is formulated for year-
round protection of your vehicle, to
improve cold weather starting and
fuel economy.

Unscrew and remove the engine oil
fill cap on the valve cover. Pour in
the oil slowly and carefully so you do
not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately. Spilled oil could
damage components in the engine
compartment.

Reinstall the engine oil fill cap, and
tighten it securely. Wait a few
minutes, and recheck the oil level on
the engine oil dipstick. Do not fill
above the upper mark; you could
damage the engine.

Oil is major contributor to your
engine’s performance and longevity.
Always use a premium-grade
detergent oil displaying the API
Certification Seal. This seal indicates
the oil is energy conserving, and that
it meets the American Petroleum
Institute’s latest requirements. It is
highly recommended that you use
Acura Precision Crafted motor oil in
your vehicle.
