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.

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.

Automatic Transmission
[Fluid level 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) Check fluid level.
For fluid level checking procedure, refer to ON-VEHICLE SER-
VICE in SECTION 7B and be sure to perform it under specified
conditions. If fluid level is low, replenish specified fluid.
[Fluid change]
1) Perform steps 1) and 2) of above Fluid Level Inspection.
2) Change fluid. For its procedure, refer to ON-VEHICLE SER-
VICE in SECTION 7B.
CAUTION:
Use of specified fluid is absolutely necessary.
[Fluid cooler hose change]
Replace inlet and outlet hoses (1) of cooler hose and their clamps.
For replacement procedure, refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in
SECTION 7B.

ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indica-
tor of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking procedure
is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) With engine stopped, remove blind plug hose from intake man-
ifold and connect special tool (vacuum gauge and joint) to va-
cated threaded hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-67311
3) Run engine at specified idle speed (see Section 6E), and read
vacuum gauge. Vacuum should be within the following specifi-
cation.
Vacuum specification: 52.6 – 65.8 kPa (40 – 50 cm
.Hg,
15.7 – 19.7 in
.Hg) at specified
idling speed
4) After checking, apply sealant to thread of blind plug and install
it to intake manifold.
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the followings.

Oil level in oil pan.
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level hole on oil level
gauge.

Oil quality.
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to the table in Section 0B.

Oil leaks.
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Using special tool (Oil filter wrench), remove oil filter.
2) After removing oil filter, remove oil pressure switch (1) from cylin-
der block.

3 / 4 turn
ENGINE MECHANICAL (G10, 1-CAM 6-VALVES ENGINE) 6A-3
3) Install special tool (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-77311
(B): 09915-78211
NOTE:
At this time, be very careful not to exert force to where
heated oxygen sensor and its lead wire are connected.
4) Reinstall oil filter.
5) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 r / min and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specifications: 270 – 370 kPa
(2.7 – 3.7 kg / cm
2,
38.4 – 52.6 psi) at
4,000 r / min (rpm)
7) After checking oil pressure, stop engine and remove oil filter
and oil pressure gauge.
8) Before reinstalling oil pressure switch (1), be sure to wrap its
screw threads with a sealing tape and tighten switch to speci-
fied torque.
NOTE:
If sealing tape edge is bulged out from screw threads of
switch, cut it off.
Tightening Torque
(a): 14 N
.m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
9) After oiling oil filter “O” ring (rubber gasket), screw oil filter on
oil filter stand by hand until filter “O” ring contacts mounting sur-
face.
CAUTION:
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to accurately
identify the position where filter “O” ring first contacts
mounting surface.
10) Tighten filter (1) 3 / 4 (270) turn from the point of contact with
mounting surface using an oil filter wrench.
Special Tool
(C): 09915-47310
CAUTION:
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that oil filter is tight,
but do not overtighten it.
11) After installing oil filter, start engine and check oil filter for oil
leakage.

COMPRESSION CHECK
Check compression pressure on all four cylinders as follows:
1) Warm up engine.
2) Stop engine after warming up.
NOTE:
After warming up engine, place transmission gear shift le-
ver in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T
model), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
3) Remove ignition coil assemblies (1) and all spark plugs (2) refer-
ring to Section 6F.
WARNING:
Failure in disconnecting couplers from ignition coil as-
semblies can cause spark to occur in engine room possi-
bly resulting in a dangerous explosion.
4) Disconnect fuel injector wire harness at couplers (2).
5) Install special tools (Compression gauge) into spark plug hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-64510-001
(B): 09915-64510-002
(C): 09915-64530
(D): 09915-67010
6) Disengage clutch (to lighten starting load on engine) for M / T
model, and depress accelerator pedal all the way to make
throttle valve full-open.
7) Crank engine with fully charged battery, and read the highest
pressure on compression gauge.
Compression pressure
Standard1400 kPa
(14.0 kg / cm
2, 199.0 psi)
Limit1100 kPa
(11.0 kg / cm
2, 156.4 psi)
Max. difference between any
two cylinders100 kPa
(1.0 kg / cm
2, 14.2 psi)
8) Carry out steps 5) through 7) on each cylinder to obtain four
readings.
9) After checking, connect couplers to fuel injectors securely and
install spark plugs and ignition coil assemblies.
