MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Fuel Filter Replacement
Replace the engine fuel filter every.
lGasoline Engine : 60,000km (36,000 miles)
lDiesel Engine : 45,000km (24,000 miles)
Spark Plug Replacement
Replace spark plugs with same type.
lType : BOSCH : F8DC4
BERU : 14F-8DU4
Champion : C11YCC
lGap : 0.8 ± 0.1 mm
Spark Plug Wire Replacement
Clean wires and inspect them for burns, cracks or other
damage. Check the wire boot fit at the Distributor and at
the spark plugs. Replace the wires as needed.
Brake System Service
Check the disc brake pads or the drum brake linings.
Check the pad and the lining thickness carefully.
Tire and Wheel Inspection and Rotation
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. To
equalize wear and obtain maximum tire life, rotate the
tires. If irregular or premature wear exists, check the
wheel alignment and check for damaged wheels. While
the tires and wheels are removed, inspect the brakes.
NORMAL VEHICLE USE
The maintenance instructions contained in the
maintenance schedule are based on the assumption
that the vehicle will be used for the following reasons:
lTo carry passengers and cargo within the limitation
of the tire inflation prassure. Refer to “Tire and Wheel”
in section 2E.
lTo be driven on reasonable road surfaces and within
legal operating limits.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
The services listed in the maintenance schedule are
further explained below. When the following maintenance
services are performed, make sure all the parts are
replaced and all the necessary repairs are done before
driving the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and
lubricants.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
Always use above the API SH grade or recommended
engine oil.
Engine Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel
economy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance; however, higher temperature
weather conditions require higher viscosity engine oils
for satisfactory lubrication. Using oils of any viscosity
other than those viscosities recommended could result
in engine damage.
Cooling System Service
Drain, flush and refill the system with new coolant. Refer
to “Recommended Fluids And Lubricants” in this section.
Air Cleaner Element Replacement
Clean the air cleaner element every.
lGasoline Engine : 15,000km (10,000 miles)
lDiesel Engine : 10,000km (6,000 miles)
Replace the air cleaner element every .
lGasoline Engine : 60,000km (36,000 miles)
lDiesel Engine : 30,000km (18,000 miles)
Replace the air cleaner more often under dusty
conditions.

1A1-10 GENERAL ENGINE INFORMATION
Measuring Procedure
1. Warm the engine up to normal operating temperature.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
3. Place the diagram sheet to compression pressure
tester.
4. Connect the adaptor to compression pressure tester
and install it into the spark plug hole.
5. Crank the engine approx. eight revolutions by using
the start motor.
6. Compare the measurements of compression
pressure tester with the specifications.
7. Measure the compression pressure of the other
cylinders in the same way.
8. If measured value is not within the specifications,
perform the cylinder pressure leakage test.
Notice
lDischarge the combustion residues in the cylinders
before testing the compression pressure.
lApply the parking brake before cranking the
engine.

1A1-12 GENERAL ENGINE INFORMATION
Leakage Test
1. Warm the engine up to normal operating temperature.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the spark plugs.
4. Check the coolant level by opening the coolant surge tank
cap and replenish if insufficient.
5. Open the engine oil filler cap.
6. Connect the tester to air pressure line and adjust the scale
of tester.
7. Install the connecting hose to spark plug hole.
9. Connect the connecting hose to tester and measure the
leakage volume after blowing up 5bar of compressed air.
Notice
Measure the leakage volume in the completely opening
condition of throttle valve by pulling the acceleration cable.
10. Perform the pressure test according to the firing order.
Notice
Firing Order : 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4
11. Compare the leakage pressure with the specifications.8. Position the piston of No.1 cylinder at TDC by rotating the
crankshaft.

1E1-10 M162 ENGINE ELECTRICAL
Functions
1. Firing order : 1-5-3-6-2-4
2. The ignition cables are located on the cylinder head cover.
Each ignition coil provides the high voltage to two spark
plugs simultaneously.
- T1/1 : cylinder 2 and 5
- T1/2 : cylinder 3 and 4
- T1/3 : cylinder 1 and 6
Removal & Installation Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable (1).
2. Remove the ignition cable connector from the ignition cable.
3. Disconnect the secondary spark plug connectors from the
each spark plugs and remove the ignition cable.
Installation Notice 3. The secondary output voltage (5a) is supplied to the No.2
cylinder spark plug through the spark plug connector. The
secondary output voltage (5b) is supplied to the No.5 cylinder
spark plug through the ignition cable. The guide pin (W)
acts as a ground while the ignition cable is operated.
lMake sure that the ignition cables are correctly routed.
lExactly install the ignition cable guide pin into the vehicle
to be grounded.
4. Installation should follow the removal procedure in the
reverse order.
