I just wanted to know that what is the frequency of the oil change for gear box ( or oil which is responsible for gear changing process for this model ), I know that Honda has these type of oils :

1) Brake oil
2) Hydraulic oil
3) Engine Oil
4) Gear Oil

Please recommend that at which duration all of these oils need to be changed and if brake and hydraulic needs refill only or they need to be replaced also ?


What is the recommended time for air and oil filter change.

These should be found in the owner's manual.

Brake fluid is the correct term and it is also used for the clutch hydraulic system.

Recommended brake/clutch fluid replacement is 1 year or 20,000 km as such fluids are hygroscopic and tends to deteriorate over time.

Engine oil is recommended to be replaced every 12,000 km, with the oil filter on alternate oil changes. Remember that this is with OEM oil filters and if you are using after market oil filters, it is best to replace it every time an oil change is made.

There is no recommmended time frame for manual transmission fluid replacement and it is suggested to check at every service interval and top up if necessary. Personally I would recommend a change at 80,000 km.

Air filter replacement is recommended at every 48,000 km.
