1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. Replace if
necessary.
The belts should not touch the bottom of the pulley groove.
2. Check drive belt de¯ection by pushing on the belt midway
between pulleys.
Adjust if belt de¯ections exceed the limit.

Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
+Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove oil ®ller cap and drain plug.
3. Drain oil and ®ll with new engine oil.
Oil grade: CCMC PD1 or PD2
Viscosity:
See ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS'', MA-9.

CAUTION:
+Be sure to clean and install oil pan drain plug with washer.

:29-39Nzm (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
+The re®ll capacity changes depending on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time; use these valves as a reference and be
certain to check with the dipstick when changing the oil.

Checking Drive Belt (Cont'd)
MA-13

Checking Power Steering Fluid and Lines
+Check ¯uid level with engine off.
+Check ¯uid level with dipstick on reservoir cap. Use ``HOT''
range at ¯uid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF). Use
``COLD'' range at ¯uid temperatures of 0 to 30ÉC (32 to 86ÉF).
CAUTION:
+Do not over®ll.
+Recommended ¯uid is Automatic Transmission Fluid type
``DEXRON
TMIII'' or equivalent.
+Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, cha®ng or deterioration.
+Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering ¯uid.
Checking Steering Damper
Check steering damper for damage and oil leakage.
Checking Steering Gear Box and Linkage
STEERING GEAR
+Check gear housing and boots for looseness, damage or
grease leakage.
+Check connection with steering column for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
+Check ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for
looseness, wear, damage or grease leakage.
