3. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle.
Turn the nuts counterclockwise to loosen them. To get
maximum leverage, fit the wrench to the nut so that the handle
is on the right side, as shown above. Grab the wrench near the
end of the handle and pull up on the handle. Be careful that
the wrench does not slip off the nut.
Do not remove the nuts yet ± just unscrew them about
one±half turn.

5. After making sure no one is in the vehicle, raise it high
enough so that the spare tire can be installed.
Allow for the fact that you need more ground clearance when
putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack (it is
a loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the jack touches the
vehicle and begins to lift, double±check that it is properly
positioned.

8. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the wheel
nuts.
Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle.
Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do not use
other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands,
such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench
is securely engaged over the nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown. Repeat
the process until all the nuts are tight.

ENGINE
345
If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low line
(low
level mark), add engine oil of the same type as alr eady
in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil a little at a time,
checking the dipstick. The approximate quantity of oil
needed to fill between the low line (low level mark) and the
full line (full level mark) on the dipstick is indicated below for
reference. When the level reaches within the correct range, return the
filler cap and turn the cap clockwise until you hear a click.
Oil quantity. L (qt., lmp. qt.) SC400, SC300 ± 1.5 (1.6,
1.3)
NOTICE
Avoid
overfilling, or the engine could be damaged. Check
the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding the oil.

CHASSIS
362If the vehicle has been driven around 80 km/h (50 mph) for
20 minutes (a little more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is
hot (60C ± 80C or 140F ± 175F). You may also check
the level when the fluid is cold (about room temperature,
10 C ± 30C or 50F ± 85 F) if the engine has not been run
for about five hours.
1. Clean all dirt off the reservoir.
2. Remove the filler cap by turning it counterclockwise and
wipe the dipstick clean.
3. Reinstall the filler cap.
4. Remove the filler cap again and look at the fluid level. If
the fluid is cold, the level should be in the ºCOLDº range on
the dipstick. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level should be in
the ºHOTº range. If the level is at the low side of either range,
add automatic transmission fluid DEXRON
II or III to bring
the level within the range. 5. After replacing the filler cap, visually check the steering
box case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or
damage.
