Engine Oil

Adding Oil

To add oil, unscrew and remove the

engine oil fill cap on top of the valve
cover. Pour in the oil, and install the
engine oil fill cap. Tighten it securely.

Wait a few minutes and recheck the

oil level. Do not fill above the upper
mark; you could damage the engine.

Recommended Oil

Oil is a major contributor to your
engine's performance and longevity.

Always use a premium-grade deter-

gent oil. It is highly recommended
that you use Honda Motor Oil in
your vehicle for as long as you own it.

You can determine an oil's SAE
viscosity and Service Classification
from the API Service label on the oil

container.

A fuel-efficient oil is recommended

for your Acura. 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.
