## Lubricants and Fluids

Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

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.

NO. | Lubrication Points | Lubricant
--- | --- | ---
1 | Engine | API Service Grade: SJ or SL fuel-efficient oil SAE Viscosity: See chart below
2 | Manual Transmission | Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Always use Honda MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does contain the proper additives.
CVT | Genuine Honda CVT transmission Fluid (ATF). Always use Honda ATF-Z1. Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
3 | Brake system (includes ABS line) | Brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4 We recommend Honda Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
4 5 | Release fork (manual transmission) Shift and select cable ends (manual transmission) | Super High Temp Urea Grease LIM264 (P/N 41211-PY5-305)
6 | Throttle cable end (dashboard lower panel hole) | Silicone grease
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | Throttle cable end (throttle link) Brake master cylinder pushrod Clutch master cylinder pushrod Shift lever Pedal Linkage Battery terminals Fuel fill lid | Multi-purpose grease
14 15 16 17 18 | 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
19 | Brake caliper piston boot, caliper pins, and boots | Caliper grease
20 | Brake line joints (front and rear wheelhouse) | Rust preventives
21 | Air conditioning compressor | Compressor oil: KEIHIN SP-10 (P/N 38897-P13-003, 38898-P13-003, 38898-P13-A01) for refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a)
