Honda 1996 Prelude Owner's Manual page 144

If Honda MTF is not available, you
may use an API service SG or SH-
rated motor oil with a viscosity of
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 temporarily.
Motor oil can cause increased trans-
mission wear and higher shifting
effort, so you should have the trans-
mission drained and refilled with
Honda MTF as soon as possible.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance recommen-
dations in the maintenance schedule.
Transmission Fluid, Brake and Clutch Fluid
Brake and Clutch Fluid
Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are up to three
reservoirs, depending on model.
They are:
Brake fluid reservoir (all models)
Clutch fluid reservoir
(Manual transmission only)
ABS reservoir
(Except S model)
The brake fluid in the brake and
Anti-lock brake systems should be
replaced every 3 years or 72,000 km
(45,000 miles), whichever comes
first.
Brake System
The fluid should be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the side of
the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, it is an
indication that your brake system
needs attention. Have the brake
system inspected for leaks or worn
brake pads.
