• “R”: Replace or change
• “I”: Inspect and correct, replace or lubricate if necessary
• For spark plugs, replace every 50,000 km if the local law requires.
• Nickel spark plug: BKR6E-11 (NGK) or K20PR-U11 (DENSO)
• Iridium spark plug: IFR6J11 (NGK)
• Periodic replacement of fuel filter is not necessary if it is not instructed in “Periodic Maintenance
Schedule” section of the Owner’s manual. The scheduled maintenance varies depending on the
vehicle specification.

7) Pull out fluid level gauge (1) again and check fluid
level indicated on it. The lowest fluid level should be
between FULL HOT (2) and LOW HOT (3). If it is
below LOW HOT, add SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil
ATF 3309 up to FULL HOT.

SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309
NOTE
• Do not race engine while checking fluid
level, even after the engine start.
• Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause
foaming and loss of fluid through breather.
Then slippage and transaxle failure can
result.
• Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL
HOT requires 0.4 liters (0.85 / 0.70 US/Imp.
pt).
• If vehicle was driven under high load such
as pulling a trailer, fluid level should be
checked about half an hour after it is
stopped.
Level Check at Room (Cold) Temperature – Cold
Check
Fluid level can be checked temporarily at room (cold)
temperature which correspond to 20 – 30 °C (68 – 86
°F). This level check is considered to be preparation
before performing level check under normal operating
(hot) temperature. Checking procedure itself is the same
as that described in “Level Check at Normal Operating
(Hot) Temperature – Hot Check: ”. If fluid level is
between “FULL COLD” (4) and “LOW COLD” (5),
proceed to test drive. And when fluid temperature has
reached normal operating temperature, check fluid level
again and adjust it as necessary.
CAUTION!
Fluid level check at room (cold) temperature
is recommended only for preparation of level
check under normal (hot) operating
condition.
Failure to perform fluid level check under
normal (hot) operating temperature may
result in damage to transaxle.
A/T Fluid ChangeS6RW0D5106003
CAUTION!
Do not use any fluid other than the specified
ATF. Use of any fluid other than the specified
ATF may cause juddering or some other
faulty condition to occur.
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) Remove left side engine under cover.
3) When engine is cool, remove drain plug (1) from oil
pan (2) and drain A/T fluid.
4) Install drain plug (1).
