2. Set theGmark of the filter body to the top position and dis-
charge the oil.
I Receive the oil discharged from the drain hose in a tray.
I About 500 cc (17.6 Imp fl oz) of oil will be discharged in about
3 minutes.
I The oil is discharged from the oil catcher to under the vehicle
through the drain hose.
3. Remove the filter body, and then remove the oil filter element.
CAUTION:
I If the engine oil gets on the engine or vehicle, thoroughly
wipe it off.
I Thoroughly wipe off the oil remaining in the oil catcher.
(This is to prevent misidentifying oil leaking from the oil
catcher as oil leaking from the engine.)
4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
I Press the O-ring in any direction with your finger, and pull on
the portion of the O-ring separated from the filter body to
remove it.
CAUTION:
Because wire and screwdrivers may cause damage to the fil-
ter body, do not use such tools.
INSTALLATION
1. Thoroughly remove foreign matter adhering to the inside of fil- ter body and O-ring mounting areas (of the body and oil cooler).
2. Install the oil filter element and O-ring to the filter body.
I Securely press the oil filter element into the filter body.
3. Install the filter body.

4. After warming up the engine, check that no engine oil leaks.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the cool-
ant when the engine is hot.
ÐDRAINING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
1. Move heater TEMP control knob all the way to HOT.
2. Remove undercover and disconnect lower radiator hose to drain coolant.
3. Remove radiator filler cap.

4. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left center of cyl-inder block.
5. Remove reservoir tank and drain coolant.
ÐREFILLING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
6. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug, and cylinder block drain plugs.
I Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
Cylinder block drain plug:
:24-26N ×m (2.4 - 2.7 kg-m, 18 - 19 ft-lb)
7. Move heater TEMP control knob all the way to HOT.
8. Fill radiator with coolant up to the filler neck.
For coolant mixture ratio, refer to MA-19.
9. Fill reservoir tank with coolant up to the MAX level.
Coolant capacity (With reservoir tank):10.6 (9-3/8 Imp qt)
Reservoir tank capacity (for MAX level): 0.75 (5/8 Imp qt)
Pour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly to allow air in
system to escape.
10. Install radiator cap.
11. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
12. Run engine at 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed.
I Repeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
13. Stop engine and cool it down.
I Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
14. Remove the radiator cap and check coolant level.
I If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with coolant.
15. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
16. Repeat step 9 through step 15 two or more times.
17. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 2,000 rpm with heater tempera-
ture control set at several positions between COOL and HOT.
I Sound may be noticeable at heater water core.
18. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 11 through 17 until coolant level no longer drops.
I Clean excess coolant from engine.

CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap (side with pressure valve) with cap
tester to see if it is satisfactory.Radiator cap relief pressure:108 - 128 kPa
(1.08 - 1.28 bar, 1.1 - 1.3 kg/cm
2, 16 - 18 psi)
Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it. Check that it closes
completely when released.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system with cap tester to check for
leakage. Testing pressure:157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Use of higher pressure than the specified value may cause
damage to radiator.
Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter and
Draining Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a rag
to absorb fuel.
CHECKING FUEL FILTER
Check fuel filter for fuel leakage, damage and other abnormal
signs.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Disconnect harness connector and drain fuel.
2. Remove fuel filter using band-type filter wrench.
3. Remove fuel filter and fuel filter sensor.
CAUTION:
Remove fuel filter without spilling fuel. If spilt, wipe off imme-
diately. Be specially careful not to spill fuel on engine mount
insulator.

4. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket andsmear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
5. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten an additional more than 2/3 or a turn.
6. Install fuel filter sensor to new fuel filter. (Type A)
7. Bleed air from fuel filter.
Refer to ªAir Bleedingº in EC section.
8. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Drain water as follows.
Type A
Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock four to five turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
Type B
Loosen air bleeder screw from the sedimentor cover and then
loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock four to five turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
2. Bleed air.
Refer to ªAir Bleedingº in EC section.
Checking Fuel Lines
Check fuel lines and tank for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CAUTION:
Keep clean parts with compressed air when assembling.
