Number
Maintenance Sub Items
1
Inspect tire condition
－
Check tire inflation and condition at least once per month.
2
Replace air cleaner element
－
If the vehicle is driven primarily in dusty conditions, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
Replace dust and pollen filter
Replace filter whenever airflow from the heating and air conditioning system is less than normal.
If the vehicle is driven mostly in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and from diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
3
Replace transmission fluid and clutch fluid (transmission side)
Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperatures. This requires transmission fluid and clutch fluid (transmission side) change more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If the vehicle is regularly driven under these conditions, change the transmission fluid and clutch fluid (transmission side) every 20,000 miles (32,000 km).
Use Acura Gear Oil GO-Type 2 for transmission fluid.
－
Capacity: 4.6 L (4.9 US qt)
Use Acura ATF DW-1 for clutch fluid (transmission side).
－
Capacity: 2.6 L (2.7 US qt)
4
Replace spark plugs
Inspect valve clearance (cold)
Intake: 0.18－0.22 mm (0.008 in)
Exhaust: 0.23－0.27 mm (0.010 in)
Inspect Active Exhaust valve function
Replace Intake Sound Control
－
Do the replacement of sound creator.
5
Replace engine coolant
Use Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2, and if necessary add Honda Extreme Cold Weather Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 (concentrate) as needed for prolonged cold temperatures below -22 °F (-30 °C).
Capacity (including expansion tank): 15.5 L (4.09 US gal)
6
Replace twin motor unit fluid
Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher level of mechanical (shear) stress to fluid. This requires twin motor unit fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If the vehicle is regularly driven under these conditions, change the twin motor unit fluid at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
Use Acura ATF DW-1.
Capacity: 2.42 L (2.56 US qt)
