Hi I am new to this site and I have a few questions. I have a 2013 Accord with the 2.4 L DOHC 16V engine with the Auto trans. And I am trying to find a copy of a service manual for the following reasons.
1) What is the service intervals for this car?
2) Is there a valve clearance procedure that can be viewed on this site? I don't even know if this engine has adjustable valve or if it has shims under bucket.

So any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can find service interval information on Honda's website, with the above link. As for valve last adjustment, searching is your best friend.

Not the exact same motor, but the procedure should be the same. As for the FSM, last I checked, those aren't something we can post freely, but if you search for this place called honda hookup...

In addition, Service repair manual info. for the 2013 and newer is only available via an online subscription service:

There are no 2013 to current Accord service manual freely on the internet.

 

NotARaCist, tech8 Thanks for your feed back. It's too bad I can only obtain a service manual online. I wonder why Honda is doing that. its too bad for the ones who want to do their own work instead of taking it to the dealer for certain jobs like valve clearance inspection as a example. Sure would be nice to have a hard copy (old school)

 

Cost of distribution. Honda has to distribute the FSM to all of their dealerships, as well as any other shop who wants to pay for it, as well as any individual that wants to pay for it. Having a controlled access document online is a LOT cheaper than stamping out hundreds of thousands of copies of massive books.

 

its too bad that in today's society that every company has used the excuse of cost to limit their output i.e. in this case shop manual. limiting the publications to just the electronic version also limits who can have access to the manual too.


As a side note I found this link on the web to the manual.

 

What part of @tech8 saying "Links to copyright material are not allowed" did you not understand? And if you don't understand the very base concepts of economics involved in why they would follow a digital distribution, rather than a hard copy distribution, then that's your own problem, not the problem of the business. PS: If you don't have access to technology, then you aren't their target audience anyway, which is again your problem, not theirs.
