Number	Maintenance Sub Items
1	Rotate tires, and check tire inflation and condition. Follow the pattern shown in the Owner's Manual.
2	Replace air cleaner element (see AIR CLEANER ELEMENT INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT ). If the vehicle is regularly driven in dusty conditions, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
	Replace dust and pollen filter (see HVAC CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ) If the vehicle is driven mostly in areas that have high concentrations of dust, pollen, or soot in the air, replace the filter at 15,000 miles (24,000 km). Replace the filter whenever airflow from the heating and air conditioning system is less than normal.
	Inspect drive belt (see DRIVE BELT INSPECTION ). Look for cracks and damage, and inspect auto tensioner; no adjustment is needed.
3	Replace automatic transmission fluid (see ATF REPLACEMENT ) and transfer fluid, (see TRANSFER ASSEMBLY FLUID REPLACEMENT ) Automatic transmission fluid capacity: 2.8 L (3.0 US qt), use Honda ATF-Z1. Transfer fluid capacity: 0.43 L (0.45 US qt), use hypoid gear oil GL4 or GL5.
4	Replace spark plugs (see SPARK PLUG INSPECTION ) Use ILZKR7B-11
	Replace timing belt (see TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT ) and inspect water pump, (see WATER PUMP INSPECTION ) If the vehicle is regularly driven in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), or in very low temperatures (under -20°F, -29°C), replace every 60,000 miles (USA)/100,000 km (Canada).
	Inspect the valve clearance (cold) (see VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT ). Otherwise adjust only if noisy. Intake: 0.20-0.24 mm (0.008-0.009 in), Exhaust: 0.28-0.32 mm (0.011-0.013 in).
5	Replace engine coolant (see COOLANT CHECK ). Capacity (including the reserve tank): 7.5 L (1.98 US gal), use Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
6	Replace VTM-4 rear differential fluid (4WD models) (see DIFFERENTIAL FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT ). Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher level of mechanical (shear) stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the maintenance minder. If the vehicle is regularly driven in these conditions, have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). Capacity: Clutch chambers 2.64 L (2.79 US qt), use Honda VTM-4 Differential Fluid.
