2000 SUZUKI SWIFT engine oil

0A-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The WARNING and CAUTION below describe some general precautions that you should observe when servicing
a vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the service procedures described in this manual, and they
will not necessarily be repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING:

Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be sure to follow the instructions under “VEHICLE LIFTING
POINTS” on SECTION 0A.

When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for automatic
transmission vehicles). Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the fan and belts when the
engine is running.

When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.

Do not perform service work in areas where combustible materials can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system. When working with toxic or flammable materials (such as gasoline and refrigerant),
make sure that the area you work in is well-ventilated.

To avoid getting burned, keep away from hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail-
pipe, muffler, etc.

New and used engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Keep new and used oil and used engine oil filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory animals.
Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used engine oil, wear a
long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dish washing gloves) when changing engine
oil. If engine oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or
rags if wet with oil, recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.

Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly
during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
CAUTION:

Before staring any service work, cover fenders, seats and
any other parts that are likely to get scratched or stained dur-
ing servicing. Also, be aware that what you wear (e.g. but-
tons) may cause damage to the vehicle’s finish.

When performing service to electrical parts that does not re-
quire use of battery power, disconnect the negative cable of
the battery.

There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “G”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “G/Y”). The first
symbol represents the base color of the wire (“G” in the figure) and
the second symbol represents the color of the stripe (“Y” in the fig-
ure).

Engine Oil and Filter Change
WARNING:
New and used engine oil can be hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in General Precaution in SEC-
TION 0A and observe what in written there.
Use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ grade.
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the left chart.
Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage. If any evi-
dence of leakage is found, make sure to correct defective part be-
fore proceeding to following work.
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.

4) Apply engine oil to new oil filter O-ring.
5) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until filter O-ring con-
tacts mounting surface.
CAUTION:
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to accurately
identify the position at which filter O-ring first contacts
mounting surface.
6) Tighten filter 3 / 4 turn from the point of contact with mounting sur-
face using an oil filter wrench.

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.
