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.

ENGINE OIL INSPECTION
1. CHECK OIL QUALITYCheck the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or
thinning.
If oil quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:
API grade SG or SH, Energy±Conserving II or ILSAC
multigrade engine oil. Recommended viscosity is as
shown in the illustration, with SAE 5W±30 being the
preferred engine oil.
Drain and refill capacity: w/ Oil filter change
4.8 liters (5.1 US qts, 4.2 lmp. qts)
w/o Oil filter change
4.5 liters (4.8 US qts, 4.0 lmp. qts)
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVELThe oil level should be between the ªLº and ªFº marks on the
dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ªFº mark.

BATTERY INSPECTION
1. CHECK BATTERY ELECTROYTE LEVEL AND VOLTAGE
(a) Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.If under the lower level, replace the battery (or add distilled
water if possible.). Need to check the charging system.
(b) Measure the battery voltage between the terminals negative (±) and positive (+) of the battery.
Standard voltage:
12.7±12.9 V at 20 5C (68 5F)
HINT:
w Before measuring the voltage, turn the ignition switch
OFF and turn off the electrical systems (headlight,
blower motor, rear defogger etc.) for 60 seconds to
remove the surface charge.

C. Remove exhaust camshaft from LH cylinder head
(a) Boring the service bolt hole of the driven sub±gear upwardby turning the hexagon wrench head portion of the exhaust
camshaft with a wrench.
(b) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub±gear to drive gear with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt:6 mm for thread diameter
1.0 mm for thread pitch
16 ± 20 mm (0.63 ± 0.79 in.) for bolt length
HINT: When removing the camshaft, make sure that the tor-
sional spring force of the sub±gear has been eliminated by
the above operation.
(c) Set the timing mark (2 dot marks) of the camshaft drive gear at approx. 15
angle by turning the hexagon wrench head
portion of the exhaust camshaft with a wrench.
(d) Alternately loosen and remove the 2 bearing cap bolts holding the intake camshaft side of the oil feed pipe to the
cylinder head.
(e) Uniformly loosen and remove the 8 bearing cap bolts in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(f) Remove the oil feed pipe, 4 bearing caps and ex haust
camshaft.
