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.

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:  Do not reuse the drained fluid. Always use Acura DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container.
Using a non-Acura brake fluid can cause corrosion
and shorten the life of the system.
 Do not mix different brands of brake fluid; they may not be compatible.
 Make sure the brake fluid is not contaminated with dirt or other foreign matter.
 Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint or plastic. If brake fluid does contact the
paint or plastic, wash it off immediately with water.
 If may be necessary to limit the movement of the release fork with a block of wood to remove all the air
from the system.
 Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the clutch reservoir (A) is at the MAX (upper) l evel line (B).2. Attach the one end of a clear tube to the bleeder
screw (A), and put the other end into a container.
Loosen the bleeder screw to allow air to escape
from the system.
3. Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid in the reservoir, then slowly push the clutch pedal all
the way down. Before releasing the pedal, have an
assistant temporarily tighten the bleeder screw.
Loosen the bleeder screw, and push the pedal
down again. Repeat this step until no more bubbles
appear at the clear tube.
NOTE: Make sure the fluid level on the reservoir
does not go below MIN.
4. Tighten the bleeder screw securely.
5. Refill the brake fluid in the reservoir to the MAX (upper) l evel line.
