1998 ACURA INTEGRA oil capacity

Inspection
Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn ofl the
engine. Allow the oil a few minutes to drain back
into the oil pan so the dipstick will show the actual
tevet,
Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dip-
stick is between the upper and lower marks.
lf the level has dropped close to the lower mark,
add oil until it reaches the upper mark.
CAUTION: Insert the dipstick caretully to avoid
bending it.

Replacement
CAUTION: Remove the drain plug carefully while the
engine is hot; the hot oil may cause scalding.

NOTE: Check the transmission oil with the engine OFF
and the vehicle on level ground.
1. Remove the oil filler plug, then check the level and
condition of the oil.
OIL FILLER PLUG44 N.m {4.5 kgf.m,Proper Level33 tbf.ftl
The oil level must be up to the filler hole. lf it is
below the hole, add oil until it runs out, then rein-
stall the oil filler plug.
lf the transmission oil is dirty, remove the drainplug and drain the oil.
Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer, and
refillthe transmission oilto the proper tevet.

ChargingLeak Test
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrig6rant and
lubricant vapol or mist can irritate eyes. nose and
throat. Avoid broating the air conditione. relrigerant
and lubricant vapor o; mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
@ some mixtures of air and R-1348 have
been shown to be combustible at €levat€d pre3sures
and can rosult in fire or explosion causing iniury or
property damage. Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a s€rvics oquipment or vehicle air conditioner
Systems.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufac-
rures.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the vehicle, as shown in the pre-
vious column, following the equipment manufactur-
er's instructions.
NOTE: Be sure to install the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before
charging.
Open high pressure valve to charge the system to
the specified capacity, then close the supply valve,
and remove the charging system couplers.
R€frigerani capacity: 700 1o g 124.7 llroz)
Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 g (0.5 oz)
per year or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be
opened (to repair or replace houses. fittings, etc.),
recover the system according to the Recover
Procedure on page 22-22.
After checking and repairing leaks, the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 22-
38).
JUse only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
