0B-6 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
A/C COMPRESSOR DRIVE BELT (IF EQUIPPED) INSPEC-
TION
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanli-
ness. If any defect exists, replace.

“COMPRESSOR DRIVE BELT” in Section 1B.
A/C compressor drive belt tension
“a” : 3 - 5 mm (0.12 - 0.20 in.) deflection under 100 N
(10 kg, 22 lb) pressure
3) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.
REPLACEMENT
Replace belt with new one referring to “COMPRESSOR DRIVE
BELT” in Section 1B.
VALVE LASH (CLEARANCE)
INSPECTION
1) Inspect intake and exhaust valve lash and adjust as neces-
sary.
Refer to “VALVE LASH” in Section 6A1 for valve lash
inspection and adjustment procedure.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
REPLACEMENT
Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage. If any evi-
dence of leakage is found, make sure to correct defective part
before proceeding to the following work.
1. Camshaft
2. Thickness gauge
WARNING:
 New and used engine oil can be hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in General Precaution in
Section 0A and observe what in written there.
 Step 1) - 7) outlined below must be performed with
ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have
adequate ventilation while engine is running.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-7
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall drain plug,
and tighten it securely as specified below.
Tightening torque
Engine oil drain plug (a) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
3) Loosen oil filter by using oil filter wrench (special tool).
Special tool
(A) : 09915-47330
4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until the filter O-
ring contacts the mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter (1) 3/4 turn from the point of contact with
the mounting surface using an oil filter wrench (2).
Tightening torque
Oil filter (b) : 14 N·m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft) (for reference)
NOTE:
Before fitting new oil filter, be sure to oil its O-ring. Use
engine oil for this purpose.
CAUTION:
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to accurately
identify the position at which filter O-ring first contacts
the mounting surface.

0B-8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on
dipstick. (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The filler inlet is at
the top of the cylinder head cover.
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ
grade. Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the
proper engine oil viscosity chart [A].
Engine oil specification
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait 5 min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring
oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
ENGINE COOLANT
REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
For ambient temperature between –20°C (–4°F) and 30°C
(86°F), it is highly recommended to use SAE 10W – 30 oil.
Oil pan capacity About 3.6 liters (7.6/6.3 US/lmp pt.)
Oil filter capacity About 0.2 liter (0.4/0.3 US/lmp pt.)
Others About 0.3 liter (0.6/0.5 US/lmp pt.)
Total About 4.1 liters (8.7/7.2 US/lmp pt.)
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)
1. Full level mark (hole)
2. Low level mark (hole)
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scald-
ing fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if
cap is taken off too soon.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-9
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug (1) to drain coolant.
3) Remove reservoir and drain.
4) Tighten plug securely. Also reinstall reservoir.
5) Fill radiator with specified amount of coolant, and run engine
for 2 or 3 minutes at idle. This drives out any air which may
still be trapped within cooling system. STOP ENGINE.
Add coolant as necessary until coolant level reaches the
filler throat of radiator. Reinstall radiator cap.
6) Add coolant to reservoir so that its level aligns with Full
mark. Then, reinstall cap aligning arrow marks on reservoir
and cap. CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water
and 50% ANTIFREEZE/ANTICORROSION COOLANT for
the market where ambient temperature falls lower than –
16°C (3°F) in winter, and mixture of 70% water and 30%
ANTIFREEZE/ANTICORROSION COOLANT for the market
where ambient temperature doesn’t fall lower than –16°C
(3°F).
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is antici-
pated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ANTIFREEZE/ANTI-
CORROSION COOLANT should be used for the purpose
of corrosion protection and lubrication.
1. Reservoir
2. Reservoir cap
3. FULL level marks
4. Arrow marks

0B-10 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
EXHAUST SYSTEM
INSPECTION
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised
for other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out
of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other
defects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from the underbody to avoid overheating and pos-
sible damage to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.

clean filter with compressed air from air outlet side of filter. WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust
system when it is still hot. Any service on exhaust sys-
tem should be performed when it is cool.
