Contents: Engine oil ⇊ Coolant ⇊ Washer fluid ⇊ Battery electrolyte level ⇊ Brake fluid level ⇊
1. Recommended fluids are listed in specifications. Level control should be carried out on a horizontal platform.

Engine oil



2. The oil level dipstick is located on the left front side of the engine.

3. The level is checked no earlier than 15 minutes after the engine has been stopped.

4. The oil level should be between the two holes on the dipstick. The volume of oil between the lower and upper levels is about 1 liter.

5. Oil is added through the filler neck in the valve cover.

6. Start the engine and check for oil leaks.

7. Check the condition of the oil, absence of dirt, metal on the dipstick, water droplets or cloudiness of the oil (in this case, the oil has a dirty gray color, indicating that water has entered the oil).

Coolant



8. The vehicles described in this manual have a forced circulation engine cooling system under pressure. The fluid level in the expansion tank changes depending on the engine heating level.

9. Check the coolant level regularly: on a cold engine, the level should be at the M IN mark of the expansion tank, on a warm engine - at the MAX mark. You can add small amounts of water, but you should not do this as a rule, otherwise you will disturb the proportion of water and ethylene glycol.

10. If the fluid level drops rapidly, inspect the system for leaks. If no leaks are found, check the operation of the radiator cap.

11. Remove the cover only when the engine is cold.



12. When checking the level, check the condition of the coolant. If its color changes to brown, drain the coolant, flush the system and fill with fresh antifreeze.

13. Replace antifreeze at the recommended interval - observe safety precautions.

Washer fluid



14. The washer reservoir is located at the front of the engine compartment. In mild climates, use special solutions, but not antifreeze: it spoils the car's paint.

Battery electrolyte level



15. In most cases, Honda cars are equipped with maintenance-free batteries. However, if a maintenance-free battery is installed, check the electrolyte level in all six cells: it should be between the two marks. If necessary, add distilled water.

Brake fluid level



16. The brake fluid reservoir is mounted on the master cylinder, which, in turn, is mounted on the brake booster.

17. The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks.

18. Before adding fluid, wipe off any dirt from the tank and neck.

19. Top up with the recommended fluid only. Mixing two different types of fluid is not allowed. The correct filling level is 19 mm below the MAX mark - it will rise when the tank cap is put back in place.

20. With the cap removed, inspect the reservoir for damage and dirt in the brake fluid. If dirt is found, replace the fluid,

21. Close the tank lid tightly.

22. If the reservoir was empty, bleed the brake system, see Chapter 9.
