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.

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-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
4. LOW HOT mark
