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.
