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.
Check belt for tension.
If belt tension is out of specification, adjust it referring to
“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.

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.
IGNITION SYSTEM
SPARK PLUGS
REPLACEMENT
Replace spark plugs with new ones referring to “SPARK PLUG”
in Section 6F1.
FUEL SYSTEM
AIR CLEANER FILTER
INSPECTION
1) Remove air cleaner case clamps.
2) Take air cleaner filter out of case.
3) Check that filter is not excessively dirty, damaged or oily,
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.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-15
WHEEL DISCS INSPECTION
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks. A disc in
badly damaged condition must be replaced.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION
1) Check front wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal
noise or rattles. For details, refer to “WHEEL DISC, NUT
AND BEARING CHECK” in Section 3D.
2) Check rear wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal noise
or rattles. For details, refer to “WHEEL DISC, NUT AND
BEARING CHECK” in Section 3E.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
INSPECTION
Inspect front struts & rear shock absorbers for evidence of oil
leakage, dents or any other damage on sleeves ; and
inspect anchor ends for deterioration.
Replace defective parts, if any.
Check front and rear suspension systems for damaged,
loose or missing parts ; also for parts showing signs of wear
or lack of lubrication.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
Check front suspension arm ball joint stud dust seals for
leakage, detachment, tear or any other damage.
Replace defective boot, if any.
STEERING SYSTEM
INSPECTION
1) Check steering wheel for play and rattle, holding vehicle
straight on ground.
Steering wheel play
“a” : 0 – 30 mm (0 – 1.1 in.)
2) Check bolts and nuts for tightness and retighten them as
necessary. Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
