Application Lubricant or Fluid 3-2 Lubricants and Fluids API CERTIFICATION SEAL For details of the lubrication points and the type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and the various work procedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section. • • A Engine Acura Motor Oil: K20Z2: P/N CA66808 (5W-20) K20Z3: P/N CA66807 (5W-30) Look for the API certification seal on the oil container. Make sure it says ‘‘For Gasoline Engines.’’ SAE viscosity: See chart. B Manual transmission Acura Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF): P/N 08798-9033C Always use Acura MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does not contain the proper additives. Automatic transmission Acura Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF-Z1): P/N CA66704 Always use Acura ATF-Z1. Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift quality. C D Brake system (including VSA lines) Clutch system (manual transmission) Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008 Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.

Information Display Driver’s Side Dashboard: 3-4 Maintenance Minder General Information MAINTENANCE MINDER INDICATOR INFORMATION DISPLAY SEL/RESET BUTTON The maintenance minder is an important feature of the information display. Based on engine and transmission operating conditions, the Acura CSX’s onboard computer (ECM/PCM) calculates the remaining engine oil and the automatic transmission fluid life. The system also displays the remaining engine oil life along with the code(s) for other scheduled maintenance items needing service. DYNOMITE -2009-
- - Service Information 3-5 A C D A B A A 1. The remaining engine oil life (A) is shown as a percentage on the information display. To see the current engine oil life, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then push and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life displays. 2. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 6 % to 15 %, the remaining engine oil life (A) and other scheduled maintenance item(s) needing service are displayed. The maintenance minder indicator (B) also comes on when the engine oil life is 15 % or less. To cancel the display and the indicator, press SEL/ RESET button. • Complete list of maintenance main items (C) (see page 3-7). • Complete list of maintenance sub items (D) (see page 3-8). 3. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 1 % to 5 %, the message ‘‘SERVICE’’ (A) is displayed along with engine oil life and the same maintenance item code(s). 4. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 0 %, the engine oil life indicator (A) blinks. Pressing SEL/RESET button cancels the display, but the maintenance minder indicator stays on. 5. If the indicated maintenance is not done, the engine oil life indicator shows a negative mileage, for example ‘‘ 10,’’ on the display. If the negative mileage is between 0 and 9, the indicator is displayed for only a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II). The negative mileage remains displayed after the vehicle is driven more than 10 km after 0 % oil life is reached, and the display cannot be canceled. This means the indicated maintenance item(s) should have been done more than 10 km ago. (cont’d) DYNOMITE -2009-
