Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle
is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be
performed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving conditions
A Ð Driving under dusty conditions
B Ð Driving repeatedly short distances
C Ð Towing a trailer or caravan
D Ð Extensive idling
E Ð Driving in extremely adverse weather condi-
tions or in areas where ambient tempera-
tures are either extremely low or extremely
high
F Ð Driving in high humidity areas or in mountain-
ous areasG Ð Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive
materials
H Ð Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in
the desert
I Ð Driving with frequent use of braking or in
mountainous areas
J Ð Frequent driving in water
For gasoline engine models

Changing Air Cleaner Filter (Viscous paper
type)
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning
between renewals.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
lBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
lProlonged 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 drain plug and oil filler cap.
3. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.
Oil grade: API, SG or SH
Viscosity: See ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS'', MA-13.
Refill oil capacity (Approximately):

CAUTION:
lBe sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
: 29 - 39 N´m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
lUse recommended engine oil.
lThe refill capacity changes depending on the oil tem-
perature and drain time, use these values as a reference
and be certain to check with the dipstick when changing
the oil.
4. Check oil level.
5. Start engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter
for oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes, check oil level.

Changing Oil Filter
1. Remove oil filter with a suitable tool.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and the engine
oil are hot.
2. Before installing a new oil filter, clean the oil filter mounting
surface on cylinder block, and coat the rubber seal of oil fil-
ter with a little engine oil.
3. Screw in the oil filter until a slight resistance is felt, then
tighten additionally more than 2/3 turn.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to ``Changing Engine Oil'', MA-19.
Checking and Changing Spark Plugs
1. Disconnect ignition wires from spark plugs at boot.
Do not pull on the wire.
2. Remove spark plugs with spark plug wrench.
3. Clean plugs in sand blast cleaner.
4. Check insulator for cracks or chips, gasket for damage or
deterioration and electrode for wear and burning. If they are
excessively worn away, replace with new spark plugs.
