sary.
Refer to “Valve Lash (Clearance)” in Section 6A1 for valve
lash inspection and adjustment procedure.
Engine Oil and Filter
CHANGE
Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage. If any evi-
dence of leakage is found, make sure to correct defective part
before proceeding to the following work.
1. P/S pump pulley
2. Camshaft pulley
3. A/C compressor pulley (if equipped)
4. Belt tension pulley
1. Camshaft
2. Thickness gauge
WARNING:
New and used engine oil can be hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in General Precaution in
Section 0A and observe what in written there.
Step 1) – 7) outlined below must be performed with
ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have
adequate ventilation while engine is running.

6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on
dipstick. (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The filler inlet is at
the top of the cylinder head cover.
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ or
SL grade.
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the proper
engine oil viscosity chart [A].
Engine oil specification
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait five
minutes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to
bring oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
Engine Coolant
CHANGE
Change engine coolant referring to “Cooling System Flush and
Refill” in Section 6B.
Exhaust System
INSPECTION
Oil pan capacity About 3.8 liters (8.0/6.7 US/lmp pt.)
Oil filter capacity About 0.2 liters (0.4/0.3 US/lmp pt.)
Others About 0.3 liters (0.6/0.5 US/lmp pt.)
Total About 4.3 liters (9.1/7.6 US/lmp pt.)
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)
1. Full level mark (hole)
2. Low level mark (hole)
WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust
system when it is still hot. Any service on exhaust sys-
tem should be performed when it is cool.

When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised
for other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out
of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other
defects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from the underbody to avoid overheating and pos-
sible damage to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.
