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.

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.

1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully removethe radiator cap.
2. Start the engine. Set the heater temperature control dial to maximum heat, then turn the ignition switch
to LOCK (0). Make sure the engine and the radiator
are cool to the touch.
3. Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the coolant.
4. After the coolant has drained, tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
5. Remove, drain, and reinstall the coolant reservoir.
6. Fill the coolant reservoir to the MAX mark (A) with Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 (P/N
CA66688). 7. Pour Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2
into the radiator up to the base of the filler neck.
NOTE: Always use Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. Using a non-Acura coolant can result in
corrosion, causing the cooling system to
malfunction or fail.
 Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a mixture of 50 % antifreeze and 50 % water. Do
not add water.
