Lubrication Points
For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied. refer to the illustrated index and various work pro-
cedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
Recomm6nded Engine OilEngine oil viscosity for ambient temperature ranges
100'F
-30 -20 .10 0 10 20 30 40'c
r1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid {MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the orooer additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect
shift qualitv.+3r Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.*4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmis-
sion fluid can caused increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Performance Test
Disconnect the wire from terminal N4.
Make a connection as described below using as
heavy a wire as possible (preferably equivalent to
the wire used for the vehicle).
Connect the battery as shown. lf the starter pinion
pops out. it is working properly. To avoid damaging
the starter, do not leave the battery connected for
more than 10 seconds.
3.
ie
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. lf the
pinion does not retract, the hold-in coil is working
properly. To avoid damaging the starter, do not
leave the battery connected for more than 10 sec
onds.

5. Disconnect the battery also from the body. lf the
pinion retracts immediately, it is working properly,
To avoid damaging the starter, do not leave the bat-
terv connected for more than 10 seconds.
6.
7.
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
Connect the starter to the battery as described in
the diagram below, and confirm that the motor
starts and keeps rotating.
8, lf the electric current and motor soeed meet the
specifications when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V,
the starter is working properly.
