CUSTOMER INFORMATION: The information in this bulletin is intended for use only by skilled technicians who have the proper tools, equipment, and training to correctly and safely maintain your vehicle.

To determine whether this information applies, contact an authorized Honda automobile dealer.  1999 American Honda Motor Co., Inc. – All Rights Reserved ATB 20553 (9905) 1 of 4 R REPAIR Skill Level Applies To: ALL 99-030Service Bulletin May 4, 1999 Recommended Materials Many procedures in service bulletins and other service publications require you to use adhesives, sealants, lubricants, solvents, wool felt, EPT sealer, etc. While some of these materials look and feel similar to each other or to non-approved materials, always use the recommended material to save yourself a costly comeback and a dissatisfied customer. Remember: A material that’s “almost the same” probably won’t do the job. A recommended material is selected by Honda engineers only after its effectiveness has been evaluated under the conditions in which it will be used. To select the best materials, factors such as these are considered: The compounds that make up the part(s) being used The material’s resistance to temperature, moisture, vibration, etc. Whether the material needs to be dry or pliable How the material bonds to dissimilar parts, for example, rubber to glass, plastic to rubber, and plastic to metal This Service Bulletin describes most of the recommended materials commonly referenced in Honda service and training publications. The materials are grouped into four catagories: Insulating Products, Adhesives and Sealers, Greases and Lubricants, and Cleaners and Polishes. You can purchase these materials through local suppliers; many are also available through American Honda. Please share the information in this bulletin with the people in your parts department.
