Engine

ACURA Motor Oil: Except Type S models-P/N 08798-9023A (5W-20)
Honda Motor Oil: Type S model-P/N 08798-9014 (5W-30)

it says ‘‘For Gasoline Engines’’. SAE viscosity: See chart below.

Manual transmission

ACURA Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF): P/N 08798-9016A
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 08200-9001
Always use Acura ATF-Z1. Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift quality.

Brake system (including ABS line)

ACURA DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008A
Always use Acura DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Acura brake fluid can cause
corrosion and decrease the life of the system.

Clutch line

ACURA DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008A
Always use Acura DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Acura brake fluid can cause
corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
