I think the EX might have a rudimentry oil cooler. Look at the base of the oil filter for 2 small coolant lines. |
Re: Oil Change 91 Accord
If you're going to do work on your "new" car, then I suggest you get
at least an official Owner's Manual (I ordered one for my "new" 1995 Nissan from Nissan Publications...perhaps Honda still has yours). Failing that, get a Haynes Repair Manual (or a Chilton) for your car. They will tell you that and much more. For now, go down to your local AutoZone or Pep Boys and page through one of them (most are shrink-wrapped, some are opened) to find out your fluid type and capacities...but buy the manual at some point. Good luck, John D.
