For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and various work procedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
| Lubrication Points | Lubricant | |
|---|---|---|
| A | Engine | API Service Grade: SJ or SL fuel-efficient oil SAE Viscosity: See chart. |
| B | Manual transmission | Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Always use Honda MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does not contain the proper additives. |
| CVT | Honda CVT Fluid (ATF). Always use Honda ATF-Z1. Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality. | |
| C | Brake system (including ABS/VSA line) | Brake Fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4 We recommend Genuine Honda Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system. |
| D | Clutch line (manual transmission) | Brake Fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4 |
| E F | Release fork (manual transmission) Shift and select cable ends (manual transmission) | Super High Temp Urea Grease LIM264 (P/N 41211-PY5-305) |
| G | Throttle cable end (below dashboard) | Silicone Grease |
| H I J K L M N | Throttle cable end (throttle link) Brake booster clevis Clutch master cylinder clevis Shift lever Pedal linkage Battery terminals Fuel fill lid | Multipurpose Grease |
| O P Q R S | Rear brake shoe linkage (Rear drum brake model) Hood hinges and latch Tailgate hinges Door hinges: upper and lower Door opening detent | Honda White Lithium Grease |
| T | Brake caliper piston boot, caliper pins, and boots | Caliper Grease |
| U | Brake line joints (front and rear wheelhouse) | Rust Preventives |
| V | Air conditioning compressor | Compressor Oil: KEIHIN SP-10 (P/N 38897-P13-003, 38898-P13-003, 38899-P13-A01) for refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) |
