Maintenance Schedule
The Required Maintenance Schedule
specifies how often you should have
your car serviced, and what things
need attention. It is essential that
your car be serviced as scheduled to
retain its high level of safety,
dependability, and emission control
performance.
The services and time or distance
intervals shown in the maintenance
schedule assume you will use your
car as normal transportation for
passengers and their possessions.
You should:
Avoid exceeding your car's load
limit. This puts excess strain on
the engine, brakes, and many
other parts of your car. The load
limit is shown on the label on the
driver's door jamb.
Operate your car on reasonable
roads within the legal speed limit.
Drive your car regularly over a
distance of several kilometers
(miles).
Always use unleaded gasoline with
a pump octane number of 86 or
higher.
Your authorized Honda dealer
knows your car best, and can provide
competent, efficient service.
However, service at a dealer is not
mandatory to keep your warranties
in effect. Maintenance may be done
by any qualified service facility or
person who is skilled in this type of
automotive service. Keep all the
receipts as proof of completion, and
have the person who does the work
fill out the maintenance record on
page
135
. Check your warranty
booklet for more information.
We recommend the use of Genuine
Honda parts and fluids or their
equivalent whenever you have
maintenance done. These are the
same high-quality items that went
into your car when it was new, so
you can be sure they fit and perform
flawlessly.
U.S. Cars:
Maintenance, replacement or
repair of emission control devices
and systems may be done by any
automotive repair establishment
or individual using parts that are
"certified" to EPA standards.
Vehicles sold in California have
slightly different maintenance
requirements. These are noted in the
Required Maintenance Schedule.
Other maintenance operations are
required by California regulations,
and condition the emission warranty.
