MAINTENANCE

of a new oil filter.
Clean the filter mounting base, and coat the stud with
clean engine oil.
• Use only a Honda Genuine oil filter or a filter of
equivalent quality specified for your model. Using
the wrong Honda filter, or a non-Honda filter that is
not of equivalent quality, may cause engine

Screw on the filter [1] by hand first, and then screw it in
to the specified torque using the special tool used for
removing the filter.
Refill the engine with the specified amount of the
recommended oil as described in the oil change
procedure (page 3-5), and start the engine to warm it up
to the normal operating temperature.
Stop the engine and check for leaks from the oil filter.
Check the oil level (page 3-4).
Install the engine cover.
