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.

Adjust the shift cable (see section l4).. Adjust the throttle cable (see section 11).. Refill the engine with engine oil (see page g-4).
. Refill the transmission with oil or fluid (see sec-tion 13 or 14).
. Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see page
10_5).
. Bleed air from the cooling system with theheater valve open (see page l0-5).. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals withsandpaper, assemble them, then apply grease toDrevent corrosron.. Inspect for fuel leakage (see section 1l).After assembling fuel line pans, turn on the igni-tion switch (do not operate the starter) so thatthe fuel pump operates for approximately twoseconds and the fuel Iine pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, andcheck for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

the hose in a container of brake fluid.
Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid at
the clutch master cylinder, then slowly pump the
