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.

7. Remove the mounting bolts and the A/C
compressor (A). Be careful not to damage the
radiator fins when removing the A/C compressor. 8. Install the compressor in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items:
Inspect the A/C lines for any signs of contamination.
If you’re installing a new A/C compressor, you must calculate the amount of refrigerant oil to be
removed from it (see page 21-7). A new A/C
compressor comes with a full charge of oil.
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings
for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for HFC-134a SANDEN spiral type A/C compressor only.
To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil
contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
Charge the system (see page 21-92).
