To drain the oil:
1. Remove the front lower cover. Remove the oil filler cap and oil drain bolt.
2. Remove the oil filter with a filter wrench. Discard the oil filter.
3. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the rubber seal on the new oil filter.

specified torque: 10 N-m (1.0 kgf-m, 7 Ibf-ft) Use only the Honda genuine oil filter or a
filter of equivalent quality specified for your model. Using the wrong Honda filter or a
non-Honda filter which is not of equivalent quality may cause engine damage.

sealing washer every other time the oil is changed, or each time if necessary. Install
the drain bolt and tighten it to the specified torque: 37 N-m (3.8 kgf-m, 27 Ibf-ft)
