Recommended Engine Oil
• Honda Genuine Motor Oil
•  Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certication Seal on the
container
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving and
that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s  latest requirements. Use Honda Genuine Motor Oil or another commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for the ambient temperature as shown.
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certiication Seal  and is of the specied viscosity grade.
Engine Oil
Park the vehicle on level ground, and wait approximately three minutes after turning the engine off before you check the oil.
Checking the Oil
1. Remove the dipstick (orange).
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper towel.
3. Insert the dipstick back all the way into its hole.
4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the level. It should be between the upper and lower marks. 
Add oil if necessary.

4. Wait for three minutes and recheck the engine oil dipstick.
Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the  engine oil life. 1. Press the select/reset knob until the oil life  screen is displayed.
2. Press and hold the knob for 10 seconds, or until the maintenance codes and oil life blink.
3. Press and hold the knob for 5 seconds, or until the maintenance codes disappear and the engine oil life display returns to 100%.
Do not ill the engine oil above the upper mark. Overilling the engine oil can result  in leaks and engine damage.

Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results in the
system showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious mechanical problems.
