11-1212. Reinstall the cover under the oil filter.
13. Pour engine oil through the filler neck.
Oil capacity (Guideline): 2.5 liter models: 4.2 US qt (4.0 liters, 3.5 Imp qt)3.0 liter models: 5.9 US qt (5.6 liters, 4.9 Imp qt)
The oil quantity indicated above is only a guideline. The necessary quantity of oil depends on the quantity of oil that has been drained.
The quantity of drained oil differs slightly depending on the tempera-
ture of the oil and the time the oil is left flowing out. After refilling the
engine with oil, therefore, you must use the dipstick to confirm that the
level is correct.
14. Start the engine and make sure that no oil leaks appear around the filter ’s rubber seal and drain plug.
15. Run the engine until it reaches the normal operating temperature.
Then stop the engine and wait a few minutes to allow the oil drain
back. Check the oil level again and if necessary, add more engine oil. Recommended grade and viscosity CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-3, which can be identified with the new API certification mark (Starburst mark)
or API classification SL with the words “ENERGY CON-
SERVING” (if you cannot obtain the oil with SL grade,
you may use SJ grade “ENERGY CONSERVING ” oil).
These recommended oil grades can be identified by looking for either
or both of the following marks displayed on the oil container.

GAS STATION REFERENCE
Fuel:2.5 Liter models: Use only unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87
AKI or higher. 3.0 Liter models:
Use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
91 AKI or higher. Regular unleaded gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of 87 AKI may be used if necessary. For opti-
mum engine performance and driveability, it is recom-
mended that you use premium grade unleaded gasoline. Fuel octane rating:
This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane
and Motor Octane numbers and is commonly referred toas the Anti Knock Index (AKI). Refer to “Fuel” section in
this manual.
