Maintenance Main Items
If the message ‘‘SERVICE’’ does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change the engine oil every
year.
NOTE:


 Replace the brake fluid every 3 years independent of the maintenance messages in the information display.
Inspect idle speed every 160,000 miles (256,000 km).
Adjust the valves during services A, B, 1, 2 or 3, only if they are noisy.

















A Replace engine oil (see page 8-10).
Engine oil capacity without oil filter:
K20Z2: 4.0 L (4.2 US qt)
K20Z3: 4.2 L (4.4 US qt)
B Replace engine oil and oil filter (see page 8-11). Engine oil capacity with oil filter:
K20Z2: 4.2 L (4.4 US qt)
K20Z3: 4.4 L (4.6 US qt)
Check front and rear brakes (see page 19-3). Check pad and disc for wear (thickness), damage, and cracks.
Check calipers for damage, leaks, and tightness of mounting bolts.
Check parking brake adjustment (see page 19-7). Check the number of clicks (8 to 10) when the parking brake lever is pulled with 196 N (20 kgf,
44 lbf) of force.
Inspect tie-rod ends, steering gearbox, and gearbox boots (see page 17-5). Check steering linkage.
Check boots for damage and leaking grease.
Check fluid lines for damage and leaks.
Inspect suspension components (see page 18-3). Check bolts for tightness.
Check condition of ball joint boots for deterioration and damage.
Inspect driveshaft boots (see page 16-4). Check boots for cracks and boot bands for tightness.
Inspect brake hoses and lines including VSA lines (see page 19-37). Check the master cylinder and VSA modulator-control unit for damage or leakage.
Inspect all fluid levels and condition of fluids. Engine coolant (see page 10-7)
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF-Z1) (see page 14-231)
Manual transmission fluid (MTF)
5M/T (see page 13-5), 6M/T (see page 13-82)
Clutch fluid (see page 12-7)
Brake fluid (see page 19-9)
Windshield washer fluid (see page 22-234)
Inspect exhaust system: K20Z2 (see page 9-13), K20Z3 (see page 9-14)
Check catalytic converter heat shields, exhaust pipes, and muffler for damage, leaks, and tightness.
Inspect fuel lines (see page 11-326) and connections (see page 11-328). Check for loose connections, cra cks, and deterioration; retighten loose connections and replace
damaged parts.
NOTE: According to state and federal regulations, failure to do the maintenance items marked with an asterisk ( ) will
not void the client’s emissions warranties. However, Acura recommends that all maintenance services be done at the
recommended interval, to ensure long-term reliability.

NOTE: Connector the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS)
to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page
11-3), and monitor the engine coolant temperature
(ECT) sensor 1 with the HDS. Adjust the valve clearance
only when the engine coolant temperature is less than
38 °C (100 °F). 1. Remove the cylinder head cover (see page 6-36).
2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). The punch mark (A) on the variable valve timing control
(VTC) actuator and the punch mark (B) on the
exhaust camshaft sprocket should be at the top.
Align the TDC marks (C) on the VTC actuator and
the exhaust camshaft sprocket. 3. Select the correct feeler gauge for the valve
clearance you are going to check.
4. Insert the feeler gauge (A) between the adjusting screw (B) and the end of the valve stem, then slide
it back and forth, you should feel a slight amount of
drag.
