GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The owners are responsible for these maintenance and inspection items.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
