Maintenance Main Items
If the message ‘‘SERVICE’’ does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change the engine oil every
year.
NOTE:


 Replace the brake fluid every 3 years independent of the maintenance messages in the information display.
Inspect idle speed every 160,000 miles (256,000 km).
Adjust the valves during services A, B, 1, 2 or 3, only if they are noisy.

















A Replace engine oil (see page 8-10).
Engine oil capacity without oil filter:
K20Z2: 4.0 L (4.2 US qt)
K20Z3: 4.2 L (4.4 US qt)
B Replace engine oil and oil filter (see page 8-11). Engine oil capacity with oil filter:
K20Z2: 4.2 L (4.4 US qt)
K20Z3: 4.4 L (4.6 US qt)
Check front and rear brakes (see page 19-3). Check pad and disc for wear (thickness), damage, and cracks.
Check calipers for damage, leaks, and tightness of mounting bolts.
Check parking brake adjustment (see page 19-7). Check the number of clicks (8 to 10) when the parking brake lever is pulled with 196 N (20 kgf,
44 lbf) of force.
Inspect tie-rod ends, steering gearbox, and gearbox boots (see page 17-5). Check steering linkage.
Check boots for damage and leaking grease.
Check fluid lines for damage and leaks.

Inspect all fluid levels and condition of fluids. Engine coolant (see page 10-7)
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF-Z1) (see page 14-231)
Manual transmission fluid (MTF)
5M/T (see page 13-5), 6M/T (see page 13-82)

pressure inspection port (A). Do not allow dust or
other foreign particles to enter the ports while
connecting the gauges.
8. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
9. Measure the line pressure at the line pressure inspection port with the shift lever in P or N while
holding the engine speed at 2,000 rpm.
NOTE: Higher pressure may be indicated if
measurements are made in shift lever position
other than P or N.
Line 900 960 kPa (9.2 9.8 kgf/cm ,
130 140 psi) 850 kPa
(8.7 kgf/cm ,
