Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, D = Check filter and drain water
NOTE:

Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.

(1) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

(2) Never use CG-4 oil.

(3) Oil filter element assembly and O-ring seal are replacement parts.

(4) First replace at 100,000 Km (60,000 miles), then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles). After first replacement, perform "I"
(checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.

(5) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, perform this maintenance item.

FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.

If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-89, "CYLIN-
DER BLOCK" .
2. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
3. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Rev the engine two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain water from the system. Refer to MA-20, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
Checking Cooling SystemELS000ZF
WARNING:

Do not remove radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from radiator.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.

Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.

When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.

Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.
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.

cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration. If nec-
essary, repair or replace damaged parts.

NANCE" .
Changing Engine OilELS000ZI
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for oil leakage from engine components. Refer to LU-
7, "ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap and then remove drain plug.
4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-27, "
OIL PAN
AND OIL STRAINER" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil.

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.
