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.

Repeat steps 2 through 5. and disconnect ground
from the No. l terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lf it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged, the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
lf you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.

Timing Belt
Removal
Replace the timing belt at 105,000 miles (168,000 km)
according to the maintenance schedule {normal condi-
tions/severe conditions). lf the vehicle is regularly driven
in either of the following conditions, replace the timing
belt at 60,000 miles (U.S.A.l 100.000 km (Canada).
- ln very high temperatures (over 110'F, 43"C).- In very low temperatures (under -20"F. -29"C).
Turn the crankshaft pu\ley so the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center (TDC).
Remove the guard bar and splash shield (see page

Engine removal is not required for this procedure.
l!@ Make sure iacks and safety stands are
placed properly, and hoist blackels ale attachgd to the
correct position on the engine.
NOTE:
o Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted sur-
faces.
o To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors care-
fully while holding the connector portion.
. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100"F (38'C)
before loosening the retaining bolts.
. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.
