0B-8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on
dipstick. (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The filler inlet is at
the top of the cylinder head cover.
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ
grade.
NOTE:
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the proper
engine oil viscosity chart [A].
Engine oil specification :
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait 5 min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring
oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.

Oil pan capacity liters (US/lmp pt.) About 5.0 (10.6/8.8)
Oil filter capacity liters (US/lmp pt.) About 0.5 (1.1/0.9)
Others liters (US/lmp pt.) About 0.7 (1.5/1.2)
Total liters (US/lmp pt.) About 6.2 (13.1/10.9)
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)

NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
“Hard water”, if used, will foul up the cooling circuit by scale formation. Tap water available from
city water supply is the best available water, in a practical sense, for the cooling system. Distilled
water is ideal but is a luxury in most cases.
