Application Lubricant or Fluid
3-2Lubricants and Fluids
API CERTIFICATION SEAL
For details of the lubrication points and the type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and the various work procedures (such
as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
A Engine Acura Motor Oil:
K20Z2: P/N CA66808 (5W-20)
K20Z3: P/N CA66807 (5W-30)
Look for the API certification seal on the oil container. Make sure it says ‘‘For
Gasoline Engines.’’ SAE viscosity: See chart.
B Manual transmission Acura Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF): P/N 08798-9033C Always use Acura MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the proper additives.
Automatic transmission Acura Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF-Z1): P/N CA66704 Always use Acura ATF-Z1. Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift quality.
C
D Brake system (including VSA lines)
Clutch system (manual transmission) Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008
Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can
cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.

General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
13. Do the battery installation procedure (see page
22-69).
14. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). NOTE: DTC P0630 VIN Not Programmed or
Mismatch may be stored because the VIN has not
been programmed into the ECM/PCM; ignore it,
and continue this procedure.
15. Manually input the VIN to the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
16. Select the IMMOBI SYSTEM with the HDS.
17. Enter the immobilizer code that you got from the iN, or use the ECM/PCM replacement procedure in the
HDS; this allows you to start the engine.
18. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
19. If the TP POSITION CHECK failed in step 5, clean the throttle body (see page 11- 344).
20. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see page 11-227).
21. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
22. Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure. The OBD status shows the current system status of
each DTC and all of the parameters. This function is
used to see if the repair was successfully completed.
The results of diagnostic tests for the DTC are displayed
as:
PASSED: The on board diagnosis is successfully finished.
FAILED: The on board diagnosis has finished but failed.
EXECUTING: The vehicle is in enable criteria conditions for the DTC and the on board diagnosis is
running.
NOT COMPLETED: The on board diagnosis was running but is out of the enable conditions of the DTC.
OUT OF CONDITION: The vehicle has stayed out of the enable conditions for the DTC.
