My manual (UK, but I can't believe there's any difference betwen engine oil capacities) says 3.0 litres at oil/filter change, or 3.5 litres when completely dry (after rebuild).

Not sure about the mineral oil, but would have thought it's OK. Someone will be along to confirm.

The book sez 10 w 40 oil so 15 w 40 is OK, Any oil WITHOUT "friction inhibitors" is OK Most Diesel oils of the "Fleet" type meet Hondas original spec
