ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Level Check
1. Unscrew and remove the filler 
cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the dipstick 
without screwing it into the 
filler neck
. Check the oil level 
shown on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, add oil to 
reach the upper limit mark on the 
dipstick. Do not overfill. If the 
engine is overfilled, the excess oil 
may get transferred to the air 
cleaner housing and air cleaner 
filter.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a low oil 
level can cause engine damage.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick 
securely.
Engine Oil Recommendations
Oil is a major factor affecting 
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for 
general use. Other viscosities 
shown in the chart may be used 
when the average temperature in 
your area is within the 
recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity and service classification are in the API label on 
the oil container. Honda recommends that you use API SERVICE 
category SH or SJ oil with the ILSAC “starburst” certification mark 
displayed on the container.
