Maintenance Schedule
The Required Maintenance
Schedule specifies how often you
should have your car serviced,
and what things need attention. It
is essential that your car be
serviced as scheduled to retain its
high level of safety, dependability,
and emission control performance.
The services and time or mileage
intervals shown in the
maintenance schedule assume you
will use your car as normal
transportation for passengers and
their possessions. You should:
Avoid exceeding your car's load
limit. This puts excess strain on
the engine, brakes, and many
other parts of your car. The load
limit is shown on the label in
the glove box.
Operate your car on reasonable
roads within the legal speed
limit.
Drive your car regularly over a
distance of several miles
(kilometers).
Always use unleaded gasoline
with a pump octane number of
86 or higher.
Your authorized Honda dealer
knows your car best, and can
provide competent, efficient
service. However, service at a
dealer is not mandatory to keep
your warranties in effect.
Maintenance may be done by any
qualified service facility or person
who is skilled in this type of
automotive service. Keep all the
receipts as proof of completion,
and have the person who does the
work fill out the maintenance
record on page
105
. Check your
warranty booklet for more
information.
We recommend the use of Genuine
Honda parts and fluids or their
equivalent whenever you have
maintenance done. These are the
same high-quality items that went
into your car when it was new, so
you can be sure they fit and
performflawlessly.
U.S. Care:
Maintenance, replacement or repair
of emission control devices and sys-
tems may be done by any automo-
tive repair establishment or individ-
ual using parts that are "certified" to
EPA standards.
Vehicles sold in California have
slightly different maintenance
requirements. These are noted in
the Required Maintenance
Schedule. Other maintenance
operations are required by
California regulations, and
condition the emission warranty.
