Was the vehicle moved in one
direction after the vehicle was
driven in another direction when
the transfer lever was in the ª4Hº
or the ª4Lº position and then
returned to the ª2Hº position?
No
EYe s
Auto-hub gears will disengage
with a resultant noise (clicking). If
the distance the vehicle is moved
in the opposite direction is short
[less than1m(3ft)] or if the rota-
tion angle of the left and right
wheels is not the same (as in
rounding a corner), gears on one
side will disengage (Fig.
).
Under this condition, a noise
(crushing, etc.) might occur while
driving in the ª2Hº position. If only
gears on one side are unlocked,
the locked drive shaft rotates at
the same speed as wheels;
however, the unlocked drive shaft
is made to rotate in the reverse
direction by the differential. This
forces by auto hub's slide gear to
lock in the reverse direction. As a
result, noise occurs.
If this happens, slowly move the
vehicle straight back approxi-
mately 2 to3m(7to10ft)with
the transfer lever in the ª2Hº posi-
tion to disengage the gears on the
other side.
Was the vehicle driven with the
transfer lever in the ª2Hº position
in extremely cold weather?
No
EYe s
In extremely cold weather (areas),
the viscosity of differential oil is
greater than in moderate weather.
When the auto hubs are unlocked
with the transfer lever set to the
ª2Hº position, one auto hub can
sometimes remain locked.
This causes noise during opera-
tion. Noise can also occur in the
auto hub when the front propeller
shaft is rotated due to the viscos-
ity resistance of the transfer fluid
(Fig.
).
In such a case, drive in the ª4Hº
position for approximately 10 min-
utes until the vehicle warms up,
and return the transfer lever to the
ª2Hº position to eliminate the
noise.
Disassemble and check the auto
hub.

Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
IProlonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Stop engine.
3. Remove dipstick, oil filler cap and drain plug.
4. Drain oil.
5. Install drain plug.
CAUTION:
IBe sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
: 29-39N×m(3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 21 - 29 ft-lb)
6. Fill slowly with new oil whilst not exceeding the maximum level.
Oil specification and viscosity:
ISee ªRECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSº (MA-
17).
Oil capacity (Approximately):
Unit:(Imp qt)
Drain and refill
With oil filter change 6.2 (5-1/2)
Without oil filter change 5.5 (4-7/8)
CAUTION:
IThe refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper
amount of oil is in the engine.
7. Install dipstick and filler cap.
8. Start engine. Check area around drain plug and oil filter for any
sign of oil leakage.
9. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes check oil level again.
10. If necessary, add oil whilst not exceeding the maximum level.
Changing Oil Filter
1. Remove oil filter with a suitable wrench.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself as engine and oil is hot.

CAUTION:
IBe sure to clean and install oil pan drain plug with washer.
Drain plug:
:54-58N×m (5.5 - 6.0 kg-m, 40 - 43 ft-lb)
IThe refill capacity changes depending on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time; use these valves as a reference and be
certain to check with the dipstick when changing the oil.
4. Check oil level.
5. Start engine. Check area around drain plug and oil filter for any
sign of oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After 10 minutes
check oil level.
Changing Engine Oil Filter
REMOVAL
1. Insert a suitable tool with a 12.7 mm square (1/2 inch square)
such as an extension bar and ratchet handle into the filter body,
and loosen the body by approximately 4 turns.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil
are hot.
