Maintenance Sub Items
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.
3 Replace automatic transmission fluid (see page 14-232). Capacity:2.9L(3.1USqt);useAcuraATF-Z1.
Replace manual transmission fluid. 5M/T (see page 13-5), 6M/T (see page 13-82)
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)
Intake: 0.21 0.25 mm (0.008 0.010 in.), Exhaust: 0.25 0.29 mm (0.010 0.011 in.)
5 Replace engine coolant (see page 10-8).
Capacity (including the reservoir):
K20Z2: M/T 4.3 L (1.14 US gal), A/T 4.2 L (1.11 US gal)
K20Z3: 4.5 L (1.19 US gal)
Use Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.

3. Replace the plug at the specified interval or if the
center electrode (A) is rounded, or if the spark plug
gap (B) is out of specification. Use only the listed
spark plugs.
NOTE: Do not adjust the gap of iridium tip plugs.
4. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the plug threads, and screw the plugs into the
cylinder head, finger-tight. Torque them to 18 N·m
(1.8 kgf·m, 13 lbf·ft).

8. Check the CYL1 MISFIRE, CYL2 MISFIRE, CYL3
MISFIRE, and/or CYL4 MISFIRE in the DATA LIST
for 10 minutes with the HDS.
Go to step 9.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
10. Check the fuel quality.
Go to step 11.
Drain the tank, fill it with a known-good fuel,
then go to step 25.
11. Inspect the spark plugs (see page 4-21). If the spark plugs are fouled or worn, replace them.
12. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:
ENGINE S PEED
VSS
REL TP SENSOR
CLV (calculated load value)
APP SENSOR
13. Check the CYL1 MISFIRE, CYL2 MISFIRE, CYL3 MISFIRE, and/or CYL4 MISFIRE in the DATA LIST
for 10 minutes with the HDS.
Go to step 14.
Go to step 25. 14. Check the fuel pressure (see page 11-325).
Go to step 15.
If the fuel pressure is too high, replace the fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-337), then go to
step 25.
If the fuel pressure is too low, check the fuel pump, the fuel feed pipe, and the fuel filter. If
they are OK, replace the fuel pressure regulator
(see page 11-337), then go to step 25.
15. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it
idle.
16. Check for these conditions: Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1)above80°C(176°F)
A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral
All electrical loads off
17. Monitor the ENGINE SPDEED in the DATA LIST with the HDS, and hold the engine speed at
2,500 rpm. Once the engine speed is met, hold the
accelerator pedal steady for more than 10 seconds.
Repeat step 17.
Go to step 18.
18. While holding the engine speed at 2,500 rpm, check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Go to step 19.
Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see page
11-224), then go to step 25.
Does the CYL1 MISFIRE, CYL2 MISFIRE, CYL3 M I SF I RE , and / or CY L4 M I SF I RE show mi sf i r ecounts?
Is the quality good?
Does the CYL1 MISFIRE, CYL2 MISFIRE, CYL3M I SF I RE , and / or CY L4 M I SF I RE show mi sf i r ecounts? Is the fuel pressure OK?
Di d t he engi ne speed v ar y mor e t han 100 r pm f r om2,500 rpm?
Is t her e about 6.0 8.6 ( K 20Z 2 engi ne) or5.7 8.3 (K 20Z 3 engine) gm/ s?
