Important notes
| - |
|
Use only genuine Honda power steering fluid and engine coolant |
| - |
It is strongly recommended that you use genuine Honda automatic
transmission fluid. The Honda fluid has different friction characteristics
to regular Dexron fluid. The use of non-genuine fluid may result
in harsh shifting. |
