Adding Oil

ENGINE OIL FILL CAP
To add oil, unscrew and remove the
engine oil fill cap on top of the valve
cover. Pour in the oil, and install the
engine oil fill cap. Tighten it securely.
Wait a few minutes and recheck the
oil level. Do not fill above the upper
mark; you could damage the engine.
Recommended Oil
Oil is a major contributor to your
engine' s performance and longevity.
Always use a premium-grade deter-
gent oil. It is highly recommended
that you use Genuine Honda Motor
Oil in your vehicle for as long as you
own it.
You can determine an oil's SAE
viscosity and Service Classification
from the API Service label on the oil
container.
A very low-viscosity, fuel-efficient
OW-20 oil is preferred engine
lubricant for your Insight. This is
shown on the API Service label by
the words "Energy Conserving."
This special oil is formulated to help
your engine use less fuel. It is
availabl e at your Honda dealer.
