Recommended Engine Oil
European models
Oil is a major contributor to your
engine's performance and longevity.
Always use a premium-grade
detergent oil. It is highly
recommended that you use genuine
Honda Motor Oil, ''ACEA A1/B1,''
''ACEA A3/B3,'' or ''ACEA A5/B5''
in your vehicle for as long as you
own it.
This oil is formulated to help your
engine use less fuel.
