Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily

basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap
and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

2 Manual Transmission Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF)

Always use genuine Honda MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting
because it does contain the proper additives.
Automatic Transmission Genuine Honda ATF-Z1
Always use genuine Honda ATF-Z1. Using a non-Honda ATF can affect
shift quality.
3 Brake system (includes ABS line) Brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4
We recommend genuine Honda Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake
fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
4 Clutch line (manual transmission) Brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4
5 Power steering system Honda Power steering Fluid (V or ll)
Always use Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power
steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid can cause increased wear
and poor steering in cold weather.
