Adding Oil

ENGINE OIL FILL CAP

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 Genuine 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 very low-viscosity, fuel-efficient

OW-20 oil is preferred engine

lubricant for your Insight. This is

shown on the API Service label by

the words "Energy Conserving."

This special oil is formulated to help

your engine use less fuel. It is

available at your Honda dealer.

The API Service label also tells you

the service classification of the oil.

Always use an oil that is labeled "API

Service SJ."
