7) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on dip-
stick (oil pan and oil filter capacity). Filler inlet is at the top of cyl-
inder head cover.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait another
5 minutes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to
bring oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
Engine Oil Capacity
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified as left table.
However, note that amount of oil required when actually
changing oil may somewhat differ from data in left table de-
pending on various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).
9) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
ITEM 1-5
Engine Coolant Change
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken
off too soon.
CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water
and 50% ethylene-glycol base coolant (Anti-Freeze/Anti-
corrosion coolant) for the market where ambient tempera-
ture falls lower than –16C (3F) in winter and mixture of
70% water and 30% ethylene-glycol base coolant for the
market where ambient temperature doesn’t fall lower than
–16C (3F).
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is antici-
pated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethylene-glycol base
coolant should be used for the purpose of corrosion protec-
tion and lubrication.
Refer to SECTION 6B for COOLANT CAPACITY.

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 drain plug securely. Also install reservoir.
5) Slowly pour specified amount of coolant to the base of radiator
filler neck, and run engine, with radiator cap removed, until ra-
diator upper hose is hot. This drives out any air which may still
be trapped within cooling system. Add coolant as necessary un-
til coolant level reaches filler throat of radiator. Reinstall radiator
cap.
6) Add coolant to reservoir (1) so that its level aligns with Full mark
(2). Then, reinstall cap to reservoir aligning match marks (3) on
reservoir and cap.
ITEM 1-6
Exhaust System Inspection
WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust sys-
tem when it is still hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be performed when
it is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance or vehicle is raised for oth-
er service, check exhaust system as follows:

Check rubber mountings for damage and deterioration.

Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents,
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification. Refer to
SECTION 6K for torque specification of bolts and nuts.

Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing or mispositioned
parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other defects
which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.

Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clear-
ance from underbody to avoid overheating and possible damage
to floor carpet.

Any defects should be fixed at once.
