2. Apply liquid gasket to the block mating surfaces of
the oil pan, then install it. Apply liquid gasket to the
shaded areas.
NOTEI
. Use liquid gasket part No. 087 18 - 0001 or
08718 - 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before apPlying liquid gasket.
. Apply liquid gasket as an even bead, centered
between the edges ol the mating surface'
. To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to
the inner threads of the bolt holes
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket
lnstead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the
old residue
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

Oil Pressure
Use this procedure to tighten the filter if eight num-
bers (1 to 8) are printed on the surface of the filter.
1) Make a mark on the oil filter base under the num-
ber that shows at the bottom of the filter when
the rubber seal is seated.
2l Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the marked point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point'
7/8 turn
Number when rubDer
seal is seated
Number after tightening.
CAUTION: Using any procedure other than those
shown could rosult in serious engins damage due
to oil leakage
5. After installation. fill the engine with oil up to the spec-
ified level, run the engine for more than three minutes,
then check for oil leakage

Testing
lf the oil pressure warning Iight stays on with the engine
running, check the engine oil level. It the oil level is cor-
rect:
1. Connect a tachometer'
2. Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and install an
oal pressure gauge.

Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge
registers no oil pr€ssure. Repair the problem before
continuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (tan
comes on at least tlivice). The pressure should be;
Engine Oil Temperature: 176"F (80"C1
Engine Oil Pressulo:
At ldle: 69 kPa (0.7 kgf/Gm'. 10 Psi)
minimum
At 3.000 rpm: 3/Ut kPa (3.5 kgt/cm', 50 psi)
minimum
. lf the oil Dressure is within specifications, replace
the oil pressure switch and recheck.
. lf the oil pressure is NOT within specifications,
inspect the oil pump (see page 8-10).

8. Mix the recommended antifreeze with an eoualamount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
o Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.. For best corrosion protection. the coolant con_centration must be maintained year_round at50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than50% may not provide sufficient protectionagainst corrosion or freezing.. Coolant concentrations greater than 60010 willimpair cooling efficiency and are not recom_mended.
CAUTION:
. Do not mix difforont brands ofar ilreeze/coolants.. Do not use additional rust inhibiiors or anti_rustproduqt3; they may not be compatible with thecoolant.

Replace the thermostat if it is open at room temperature'
To test a closed thermostat:
1, Suspend the thermostat in a container of water as
shown.

Heat the water, and check the temperature with a
thermometer. Check the temperature at which the
thermostat first opens, and at which it is fully open

ll, Engine Control Module (ECM)/powertrain Control Module (pCM) Reset procedure
NoTE: Resetting the EcM/PcM will erase any stored DTcs and any freeze data. lt will also restart all readiness codemonitors.
Either of the following actions will reset the ECM/PCM.
. Use the OBD ll scan tool or Honda pGM Tester to clear the EClM,s/pCM,s memory.
NorE: see the oBD ll scan tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.
' Turn the ignition switch oFF. Remove the BACK uP (7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box for 10 sec-onds.
NorE: Bemoving the BACK uP (7 5 A) fuse cancels the clock and the radio presets. Make note of the customer,spresets so you can reset then
lll. Final Procedure (this procedure must be done after any troubleshoottng)
1. Remove the SCS Service Connector if it is connected.
NoTE: If the Scs service connector is connected and there are no DTcs stored in the EcMipcM, the MtL will stayon when the ignition switch is turned ON 0l).
2. Do the ECM/PCM Reset procedure.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
