SERVICING
Servicing refers to general maintenance procedures to
be performed by qualified service personnel.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
Engine Serial Number
The engine number is stamped on the rear left hand
side of the cylinder body.
AIR CLEANER
Oil Wetted (Viscous) Type Paper Element.
The air cleaner has an oil wetted paper element. No
servicing is required until the replacement interval is
reached.
Never attempt to clean the element, no matter how dirty
it may appear. The element is designed to provide
normal filtering efficiency until it becomes due for
replacement.
Refer to the Item “Service and Maintenance” in the
Owner’s and Driver’s Manual for general service
information.
LUBRICATING SYSTEM
Main Oil Filter (Cartridge Type Paper Element)
Replacement Procedure
1. Loosen the drain plug to drain the engine oil.
2. Wait a few minutes and then retighten the drain
plug.
3. Loosen the used oil filter by turning it counter-
clockwise with the filter wrench.
4. Clean the oil cooler fitting face.
This will allow the new oil filter to seat properly.
5. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring.
6. Turn the new oil filter until the filter O-ring is fitted
against the sealing face.
7. Use the filter wrench to turn the filter additional one
and 1/4 turns.

8. Check the engine oil level and replenish to the
specified level if required.
9. Start the engine and check for oil leakage from the
main oil filter.
FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel filter
Replacement Procedure
1. Loosen the used fuel filter by turning it
counterclockwise with the filter wrench.
Filter Wrench : 5-8840-0203-0
2. Clean the filter cover fitting faces.
This will allow the new fuel filter to seat properly.
3. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring.
4. Turn the fuel filter until the sealing face comes in
contact with the O-ring.
5. Turn the fuel filter with a filter wrench 2/3 of a turn
until sealed.
Filter Wrench: 5-8840-0203-0Legend
(1) Priming pump
6. Operate the priming pump until the air is discharged
completely from fuel system.
NOTE: The use of an Isuzu genuine fuel filter is
strongly recommended.
COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level and replenish the radiator
reserve tank as necessary.
If the coolant level falls below the “‘MIN” line, carefully
check the cooling system for leakage. Then add
enough coolant to bring the level up to the “MAX” line.
NOTE: Do not overfill the reserve tank.

INSTALLATION
1, Lightly apply oil to the O-ring of oil filter cartridge.
2. Turn the new oil filter cartridge by hand until the
sealing face is fitted against the O-ring.
3. Use the filter wrench to turn the oil filter an
additional one and 1/8 turns.
4. Start the engine and check for oil leakage from oil
filter.

To realize the compatibility between low exhaust
emission and high engine output, an HEUI
(Hydraulically actuated Electronically controlled Unit
Injector) system, has been introduced. This system is
comprised of a hydraulic system, fuel system, and
electronic control system, using a high-pressure oil
pump in place of the conventional fuel injection pump.
The oil pressurized by means of this pump and by
signals from the ECM (Electronic Control Module)
actuates the fuel injector provided for each cylinder.
Inside of the fuel injector, fuel pressure is increased due
to the high-pressure oil. The ECM detects the driving
state of the vehicle, forms, signals sent by engine and
other part sensors, which determines the optimum fuel
injection amount and timing, thus controlling the fuel
injectors. Thus high engine output, good fuel economy,
and low exhaust emission are realized.When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
1) Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except for
those tests where battery voltage is required.
2)Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
3) Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings
that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O” rings. Replace where
required.
4) Always relieve the line pressure before servicing
any fuel system components.
5) Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until you
have read the instructions and checked the pictures
relating to that repair.
6) After maintenance work, push priming pump and
send enough fuel to the fuel system before starting
the engine.
NOTE: In comparison with the conventional engine,
the capacity of fuel passage in the 4JX1 engine is
larger. It takes the priming pump more time to fill the
engine with fuel.
