1 Rotate tires, and check tire inflation and condition.
Follow the pattern shown in the Owner’s Manual.


2 Replace air cleaner element (see page 11-346).
Replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) if the vehicle is driven in dusty conditions.
Replace dust and pollen filter (see page 21-75). If the vehicle is driven mostly in urban areas that have high concentrations of dust, pollen, or soot in
the air, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
Replace the filter whenever airflow from the heating and air c onditioning system is less than normal.
Inspect drive belt (see page 4-30). Look for cracks and damage, then check the position of the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator.

Capacity:1.5L(1.6USqt);useAcuraMTF.




4 Replace spark plugs (see page 4-21).
K20Z2: Use SKJ20DR-M11 (DENSO).
K20Z3: Use SK22PR-M11S (DENSO).
Inspect valve clearance (cold). K20Z2 (see page 6-12)
Intake: 0.21 0.25 mm (0.008 0.010 in.), Exhaust: 0.28 0.32 mm (0.011 0.013 in.)
K20Z3 (see page 6-14)

1. Remove the ignition coil cover (A).
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (B), then remove the ignition coils (C).
3. Install the ignition coils in the reverse order of removal. 1. Remove the spark plugs, then inspect the
electrodes and the ceramic insulator.
 Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by these conditions:
– Advanced ignition timing
– Loose spark plug
– Plug heat range too hot
– Insufficient cooling
 Fouled plugs may be caused by these conditions: – Retarded ignition timing
– Oil in combustion chamber
– Incorrect spark plug gap
– Plug heat range too cold
– Excessive idling/low speed running
– Clogged air cleaner element
– Deteriorated ignition coils
2. If the spark plug electrode is dirty or contaminated, clean the electrode with a plug cleaner.
NOTE: Do not use a wire brush or scrape the iridium electrode since this will damage the electrode.
 When using a sand blaster spark plug cleaner, do not clean for more than 20 seconds to avoid
damaging the electrode.
