2000 SUZUKI SWIFT oil

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-17
MANUAL TRANSMISSION OIL
INSPECTION
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for oil level check.
3) Remove oil filler/level plug (1) of transmission.
4) Check oil level.
Oil level can be checked roughly by means of filler/level plug
hole. That is, if oil flows out of level plug hole or if oil level is
found up to hole when level plug is removed, oil is properly
filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified oil up to level hole.
For specified oil, refer to “MANUAL TRANSMISSION OIL
CHANGE” in Section 7A.
5) Apply sealant to filler/level plug and tighten it to specified
torque.
REPLACEMENT
1) Place the vehicle level and drain oil by removing drain plug
(2).
2) Apply sealant to drain plug after cleaning it and tighten drain
plug to specified torque.
3) Pour specified oil up to level hole.
4) Tighten filler plug to specified torque.
For recommended oil, its amount and tightening torque data,
refer to “MANUAL TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE” in Sec-
tion 7A.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
INSPECTION
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of fluid leakage.
Repair leaky point, if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for fluid level check.
3) Pull out dipstick and check fluid level.
For fluid level checking procedure, refer to “A/T FLUID
LEVEL” in Section 7B and be sure to perform it under speci-
fied conditions. If fluid level is low, replenish specified fluid.
1. Dipstick
2. Clamp
3. FULL HOT mark

0B-18 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
REPLACEMENT
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of fluid leakage.
Repair leaky point, if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for fluid level check.
3) Change fluid. For its procedure, refer to “CHANGING A/T
FLUID” in Section 7B.
TRANSFER OIL (4WD) AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL
OIL (4WD)
INSPECTION
1) Check transfer case or differential for evidence of oil leak-
age.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for oil level check.
3) Remove level plug of transfer or differential and check oil
level.
Oil level can be checked roughly by means of level plug
hole. That is, if oil flows out of level plug hole or if oil level is
found up to hole when level plug is removed, oil is properly
filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified amount of specified
oil referring to “TRANSFER OIL CHANGE” in Section 7D or
“DIFFERENTIAL OIL CHANGE” in Section 7F.
4) Tighten level plug to specified torque referring to “TRANS-
FER OIL CHANGE” in Section 7D or “CHANGING DIFFER-
ENTIAL OIL” in Section 7F.
REPLACEMENT
Change transfer oil and differential oil with new specified oil refer-
ring to “TRANSFER OIL CHANGE” in Section 7D or “DIFFEREN-
TIAL OIL CHANGE” in Section 7F.

For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System :
 Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
 Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C : one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “REFRIGERANT TYPE” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer to
“AIR CONDITIONING BASIC MANUAL (Part number : 99520-02130)”.

tion in condenser.Resonance from condenser bracket and body Firmly insert a silencer between
condenser bracket and body.
