NOTE: (1) Oil filter element assembly (Part No. 15208 AD200) and O-ring seal (Part No. 15226 AD200) 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.

Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions (Annual Driving Distance < 30,000
km/year)
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle
is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be
performed on the following items as shown in the table.
A Ð Driving in dusty conditions
B Ð Repeatedly driving short distances
C Ð Towing a trailer or caravan
D Ð Extensive idling
E Ð Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either
extremely low or extremely high
F Ð Repeated driving at high speeds and/or at high engine load

in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine cool-
ing system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be covered by
the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
