Key Refueling Guidelines:
-
Octane Requirements: Honda recommends 87 Octane (Pump Octane Number [R+M]/2) or higher. Using premium 91+ octane in turbocharged models may slightly improve throttle response in hot climates but is not required to maintain your warranty.
-
TOP TIERâ„¢ Gasoline: Use detergent gasoline meeting TOP TIER standards to prevent carbon buildup on direct-injection intake valves and fuel injectors.
-
Avoid Overfilling: Stop refueling after the pump nozzle automatically shuts off. Top-off clicks can force liquid gas into the EVAP charcoal canister, causing system saturation.
