RADIATOR
CLEANING OF RADIATOR
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud and dirt
from the radiator core.
NOTICE: If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful
not to deform the fins of the radiator core. If the cleaner
nozzle pressure is 2,942±3,432 kPa (30±35 kgf/cm2,
427±498 psi), keep a distance at least 40±50 cm
(15.75±19.69 in.) between the radiator core and cleaner
nozzle.
INSPECTION OF RADIATOR
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP FROM RESERVOIR TANK
2. INSPECT RADIATOR CAPUsing a radiator cap tester, pump the tester and measure the
relief valve opening pressure.
Standard opening pressure:
74±103 kPa
(0.75±1.05 kgf/cm, 10.7±14.9 psi)
Minimum opening pressure:
59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm, 8.5 psi)
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the ra-
diator cap.
3. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS (a) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator captester to the reservoir tank.
(b) Warm up the engine.
(c) Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17.1 psi), check that pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check for leaks as the hoses, radiator
or water pump. If no external leaks are found, check the heat-
er core, cylinder block and head.
4. REINSTALL RADIATOR CAP

ENGINE COOLANT INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR TANK
The coolant level should be above the ªCOLD LEVELº at nor-
mal temperature (20 5C (68 5F)).
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ªCOLD LEV-
ELº
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap from the reservoir tank.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove
it while the engine and radiator are still hot as fluid and steam
can be blown out under pressure
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or reservoir tank filler hole, and the
coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace
the coolant.
Capacity (w/ Heater):
10.8 liters (11.4 US qts, 9.5 lmp. qts)
HINT:
wUse a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant and
mix it according to the manufacturer's directions.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50%
ethylene±glycol(but not more than 70%) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use a alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

INSPECTION OF ENGINE COOLANT
1. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIRTANK
The engine coolant level should be between the LOW and
FULL lines.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the FULL
line.
2. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or reservoir tank filler hole, and the
engine coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the engine coolant passages and
flush the cooling system.
INSPECTION OF ENGINE OIL
1. INSPECT ENGINE OIL QUALITYCheck the oil for deterioration, presence of water, discoloring
or thinning.
If the quality is poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade: API grade SG, Energy±Conserving II multi- grade. Recommended viscosity is as shown,
with SAE 5W±30 being the preferred engine
oil.
Drain and refill oil capacity:
w/ Oil filter change
4.8 liter (5.1 US qts, 4.2 lmp. qts)
w/o Oil filter change 4.5 liter (4.8 US qts, 4.0 lmp. qts)
2. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVELThe oil level should be between the ºLº and ºFº marks on the
dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to ºFº mark.
