Engine Oil and Filter (cont'd)
The numbers in the middle tell you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight.
Select the oil for your car according to this chart:
An oil with a viscosity of 5W-30 is preferred for improved fuel
economy and year-round protection in your Honda. You may use a
10W-30 oil if the climate in your area is limited to the temperature
range shown on the chart.
A fuel-efficient oil is recommended for your Honda. This is shown
on the API Service label by the words "Energy Conserving II." 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 says "API Service SG." This service rating
may also include other designations, such as CD. These additional
classifications are not a problem, as long as the label also carries the
SG classification. An oil that is only classified SF is not
recommended.
Changing Oil and Filter
Engine oil and the filter should be changed together every 6 months
or 7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever comes first. The filter is
located on the engine block, below the intake manifold.
CAUTION:
The oil filter cannot easily be removed from above the engine. For
this reason it is recommended that the oil filter change be done by
a skilled mechanic.
1. Start the car to warm up the
engine, then shut it off.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt, and drain the oil.
A warmed-up engine and the oil in
it are hot; be careful not to burn
yourself.
