Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
+Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove oil ®ller cap and drain plug.
3. Drain oil and ®ll with new engine oil.
Oil grade: CCMC PD1 or PD2
Viscosity:
See ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS'', MA-9.
Re®ll oil capacity (approximate):
Without oil ®lter change
6.4!(5-5/8 Imp qt)
With oil ®lter change
5.8!(5-1/8 Imp qt)
CAUTION:
+Be sure to clean and install oil pan drain plug with washer.
Drain plug:
:29-39Nzm (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
+The re®ll capacity changes depending on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time; use these valves as a reference and be
certain to check with the dipstick when changing the oil.

4. Check oil level.
5. Start engine. Check area around drain plug and oil ®lter for any
sign of oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes check oil level.
Changing Engine Oil Filter
1. Remove oil ®lter with Tool.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil
are hot.
2. Clean oil ®lter mounting surface on cylinder block. Coat rubber
seal of new oil ®lter with engine oil.
3. Screw in the oil ®lter until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
an additional 2/3 of a turn.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to Changing Engine Oil.
+Clean excess oil from engine.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the cool-
ant when the engine is hot.
ÐDRAINING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
1. Move heater TEMP control knob all the way to HOT.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator.
3. Remove radiator ®ller cap.
Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir tank.
Install it temporarily.
+Be careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts.

Checking Power Steering Fluid and Lines
+Check ¯uid level with engine off.
+Check ¯uid level with dipstick on reservoir cap. Use ``HOT''
range at ¯uid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF). Use
``COLD'' range at ¯uid temperatures of 0 to 30ÉC (32 to 86ÉF).
CAUTION:
+Do not over®ll.
+Recommended ¯uid is Automatic Transmission Fluid type
``DEXRON
