Quick Reference

The following is a brief, but important collection
of information you need to know about your
Honda. You'll also find space to record
important notes.
How To Avoid Costly Repairs
The engine of your Honda can be the most
expensive component to repair. Proper
maintenance, especially the use of the
recommended fluids and filters, prevents
premature wear and damage.
Frequent causes of costly engine repairs are:
• Transmission oil & engine oil: insufficient
quantity, improper oil.
• Air cleaner: dirty, leaking because of
improper installation (poor seal)
