If Honda MTF is not availa ble, you may use the API
certificated SAE 0 W-20 or 5 W-20 viscosity motor oil
as a temporary measure.
Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor oil does
not contain the proper addi tives for the transmission
and continued use can cause decreased shifting
performance and lead to transmission damage.

Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir.
The brake fluid reservoir is also used for your
vehicle’s clutch fluid. As long as you keep the
brake fluid level as ins tructed above, there is
no need for checking the clutch fluid level.
Specified fluid: Honda Heav y Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3
■Checking the Brake Fluid
1Brake Fluid
NOTICE
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your
vehicle’s braking system and can cause extensive
damage.
We recommend using the specif ied brake fluid. If the
specified brake fluid is not available, you should use
only DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid fr om a sealed container as
a temporary replacement.
Using any non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion
and decrease the longevity of the system. Have the
brake system flushed and re filled with Honda Heavy
Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as soon as possible.
If the brake fluid level is at or below the MIN mark,
have a dealer inspect for l eaks or worn brake pads as
soon as possible.
