Your authorized Honda dealer
knows your car best and can
provide competent, efficient
service. However, service at a
dealer is not mandatory to keep
your warranties in effect.
Maintenance may be done by any
qualified service facility or person
who is skilled in this type of
automotive service. Keep all the
receipts as proof of completion,
and have the person who does the
work fill out the Maintenance
Record. Check your warranty
booklet for more information.
We recommend the use of Genuine
Honda parts and fluids whenever
you have maintenance done. These
are manufactured to the same
high-quality standards as the
original components, so you can be
confident of their performance and
durability.
Maintenance Schedule
Maintenance, replacement, or
repair of emissions control
devices and systems may be done
by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using
parts that are "certified" to EPA
standards.
According to state and federal
regulations, failure to perform
maintenance on the items marked
with # will not void your emissions
warranties. However, Honda
recommends that all maintenance
services be performed at the
recommended time or mileage
period to ensure long-term
reliability.
