NOTE:
(1) Oil filter element assembly and O-ring seal are replacement parts.
(2) First replace at 100,000 km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/36 months. After first replacement,
perform ªIº (checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(3) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(4) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, check injection nozzles and if
necessary, replace injection nozzle assembly.
HMaintenance items with ªHº should be performed more frequently according to ªMaintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditionsº.

correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(2) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(3) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FE section.
(4) Perform only according to ªMaintenance Under Severe Driving Conditionsº for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.
HMaintenance items with ªHº should be performed more frequently according to ªMaintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditionsº.
