CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF
ENGINE COOLANT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR TANK
The coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº
lines at low temperature.
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should be no excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and the coolant
should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (a) Remove the radiator cap.
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) Drain the coolant from the radiator drain cock andengine drain plug.
(c) Close the drain cock and plug.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
29 NVm (300 kgf Vcm, 22 ft Vlbf)
(d) Fill the system with coolant.
w Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant,
mixed according to the manufacturer's direction.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50 %
ethylene±glycol (but not more than 70%) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
Coolant capacity (w/ Heater): M/T 8.5 liters (9.0 US qts, 7.5 Imp. qts)
A/T 8.4 liters (8.9 US qts, 7.4 Imp. qts)
(e) Install the radiator cap.
(f) Start the engine and check for leaks.
(g) Recheck the coolant level and refill as necessary.

(f) Slowly add coolant to water inlet housing until it is full.w Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant,
mixed according to the manufacturer's directions.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50%
ethylene±glycol (but not more 70%) than is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
Capacity (w/ Heater): 10.8 liters (11.4 US qts, 9.5 lmp. qts)
(g) Reinstall a new gasket and filler plug to the water inlethousing.
Torque: 44 N Vm (450 kgf Vcm, 33 ft Vlbf)
(h) Slowly add coolant to reservoir tank until it is full.
(i) Reinstall the radiator cap.
(j) Bleed the cooling system.
w Start the engine, and open the heater water valve.
w Maintain the engine speed at 2,000 rpm, and warm
up the engine.
(k) Check for leaks.
(l) Recheck the coolant level and refill as necessary.

INSPECTION OF THERMOSTAT
INSPECT THERMOSTATHINT: The thermostat is numbered with the valve opening
temperature.
(a) Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat thewater.
(b) Check the valve opening temperature.
Valve opening temperature: 80±84 5C (176±183 5F)
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace
the thermostat.
(c) Check the valve lift.
Valve lift:
8.5 mm (0.335 in.) or more at 95 5C (203 5F)
If the valve lift is less than specification, replace the thermo-
stat.
(d) Check that the valve spring is tight when the thermostat
is fully closed.
If not closed, replace the thermostat.
INSTALLATION OF THERMOSTAT
(See Components on page CO±10)
1. PLACE THERMOSTAT IN WATER INLET (a) Install a new gasket to the thermostat.
(b) A l i g n t h e j i g g l e v a l v e o f t h e t h e r m o s t a t w i t h t h eprotrusion, and insert the thermostat in the water inlet.
HINT: The jiggle valve may be set within 10 5 of either side of
the prescribed position.
2. INSTALL WATER INLET Install the water inlet with the two nuts.

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
