VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
5- 6
6ZF070D1-A
o Manual transaxle oil Inspect the manual transaxle oil according to the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear brake drums and linings/
parking brake
Check the rear brake drums and linings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brake sys- tem including the parking brake lever and cables. For detailed service procedures, refer to the Shop Manual. 6ZF070J1-A
o Brake pads, calipers and rotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leakage. 6ZF070K1-A
o Exhaust pipe and muffler Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. 6ZF070L1-A
o Suspension mounting bolts Check the suspension connections for loose- ness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.
F070E03A-AAT
o Automatic transaxle fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the Automatic Transaxle Fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly applied. Use DIAMOND ATF SP- III,
SK ATF SP- III when adding or changing fluid. 6ZF070M1-A
o Steering gear box, linkage & boots/
lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off, check for excessive freeplay in the steering wheel. Check the linkage for bends or damage. Check the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged parts. 6ZF070N1-A
o Power steering pump, belt and hos-
es
Check the power steering pump and hoses for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately. Inspect the power steering belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, exces- sive wear, oiliness and proper tension. Replace or adjust it if necessary.
6ZF070F1-A o Brake hoses and lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. 6ZF070G2-A
o Brake fluidCheck brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling system Check the cooling system part, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged parts. 6ZF070C1-A
o CoolantThe coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.
OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-5
See the lubrication chart on the page 9-3. NOTE:
o The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is not
recommended for sustained high speed use.
o When replacing or adding the oil, below SAE 10W-30 is recommended. Using a high viscosity oil of SAE 15W-40 and over makes malfunction of VVT engine when the engine is cool. SG030D1-E ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oil should be added until the level is at or below the upper mark. To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap by rotating in an counterclockwise direction and pour engine oil into the engine. Before checking the level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler cap rotating it in a clockwise direction until tight. The quantity of oil required to raise the level from the minimum to maximum level is approximately 1 litre.
SG030C1-E Engine Oil Level
The engine oil level should be checked with the engine at normal operating temperature and the vehicle parked upon level ground. Prior to checking the level, the vehicle should be allowed to stand for several minutes after the engine has been switched off to allow the oil to drain back to the sump. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw again when the oil level may be read from the stick. Normal oil level is indicated when the oil is present between the two marks on the stick. It is not necessary to add oil if the level is above the lower mark and in any case, oil must not be added to the degree that the level exceeds the upper mark. Replace the dipstick fully after check- ing the level.
