CAUTION:

The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.

Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in the engine.
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.

engine oil leakage or spillage.

Do not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belt.

Completely wipe off any engine oil that adheres to engine
and vehicle.

3. Screw oil filter manually until it touches the installation surface,
then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Start engine, and make sure there is no leaks of engine oil.
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Check the engine oil level and adjust engine oil. Refer to MA-24, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
Checking and Changing Spark PlugsELS000ZK
REMOVAL
1. Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-31, "IGNITION COIL" .
2. Remove spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service
tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock it.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL (EXCEPT FOR RUSSIA)
Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.
Hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions such as:

Frequent engine starts

Low ambient temperatures
Cold type spark plug is suitable when spark plug knock occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions
such as:

Extended highway driving

Frequent high engine revolution

Check plug gap of each spark plug.

If out of standard, adjust or replace spark plug.

Use a wire brush for cleaning, if necessary.Oil filter:

Checking Drive BeltsELS000CC

Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has cooled
down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the engine has been
stopped.

Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage or cracks on contact-
ing surfaces and edge areas.

When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point ( ).
CAUTION:

When checking belt deflection immediately after installa-
tion, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turn-
ing the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the
specified value to avoid variation in deflection between
pulleys.

Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflection without looseness.
Belt Deflection:
*: When engine is cold.
Tension AdjustmentELS000K5
Adjust belts with the parts shown below.
CAUTION:

When a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it to the specified value under “New” value
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.

If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the “Limit for re-adjusting”, adjust to the
“Adjusted” value.

When checking belt deflection immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value.
Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to the specified value to avoid varia-
tion in deflection between pulleys.

Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley grooves during installation.

Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with engine oil or engine coolant etc.

Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.

CHECKING RADIATOR CAP

Check valve seat of radiator cap.
–Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
–Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.

Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is
completely closed when released.
–Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of
radiator cap negative-pressure valve.
–Make sure that there are no unusualness in the opening and
closing conditions of negative-pressure valve.

Check radiator cap relief pressure.
–When connecting radiator cap to the radiator cap tester (com-
mercial service tool) and the radiator cap tester adapter (special
service tool), apply engine coolant to the cap seal surface.

Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness related to the above three.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS

To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap
tester adapter (special service tool).
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Seri-
ous burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant
escaping from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.
