EBU00490Transmission oilMake sure the transmission oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-17 ~
8-23.)cCBe sure to use motor oils that do not contain
anti-friction modifiers. Passenger car motor
oils (often labeled “Energy Conserving”) con-
tain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, result-
ing in reduced component life and poor
engine performance.
Recommended oil:
SAE 10W30
Recommended oil classification:
API Service SE, SF, SG type or higher
Oil quantity:
Total amount:
1.7 L
Periodic oil change:
1.5 L
