Engine Oil OIL FILTER 5. Put a new washer on the drain bolt, then reinstall the drain bolt. Tighten it to 40 N.m (4.0 kg-m 29 Ib-ft). 6. Refill the engine with the recommended oil. Engine oil capacity (including filter): 3.5 U.S. qt (2.9 Imp. qt. 3.3 ). 7. Replace the oil fill cap. Start the engine. The indicator light should go out within five seconds. If it does not, turn off the engine and inspect your work. 8. Let the engine run for several minutes and check the drain bolt and oil filter for leaks. 9. Turn off the engine, let it sit for several minutes, then check the oil level. If necessary, add oil to bring the level to the upper mark on the dipstick. NOTICE If you change your own oil, please dispose of the used oil properly. Put it in a sealed container and take it to a recycling center. Do not discard it in a trash bin or dump it on the ground. The oil and filter should be changed every 6 months or 7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever comes first. Under severe driving conditions, they should be changed every 3 months or 3,750 miles (6,000 km). See page 106 for a description of severe driving conditions. 3. Remove the oil filter and let the remaining oil drain. A special wrench (available from your Honda dealer) is required to remove the filter. 4. Install a new oil filter according to the instructions that come with it. Maintenance
