Lug Nut Torque for FL5 - Owners Manual Wrong!

[submitaweasel]

I can also say: I have read every page of every vehicle owners manual I have had including the motorbikes. The CBRs bothered me the most with the frequent valve lashing recommendations.

I confirm that 127 nm is also reported in the Italian manual

Where does it state what car this is for?..it should be on the page? Correct?

Likely the service manual

It's out of the factory service manual for the FL5. There is not a car listed on these specific pages.

Yup, my local dealer’s regional rep confirmed the USA owners manual is incorrect and has the standard Civic torque listed; should have had a note for Type R specific torque of 94. I edited the first post so hopefully people see it.

As the OP you can edit the thread title as well. I would recommend doing that as 80 is not correct and you don’t want people following that info.

good call, I did just that!

Call Honda Corporate so they know to fix it in next print or notify owners so they don't get killed!

94 is correct. From the service manual.

I just went through the whole manual and it doesn't show the torque specs for the brake bleeder valves for bleeding brakes. On the FK8 is was 10ftlbs. Im assuming its the same since apparently the brakes are identical

Sounds like a safe bet to me.

2024 Integra Type S Manual still says 80.

2025 Owners Manual (US) finally corrected this, page 741.

I track the car often, I just set them to 100ftlbs and call it a day.
