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.

4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick 

securely.

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 API SERVICE category SJ or 
later oil with the ILSAC “starburst” certification mark displayed on the 
container.
