Item Capacity Classification
Oil grade - ILSAC multigrade engine oil is
recommended. SAE 5W-30 is the
best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.

Result
(6) Check the IGT signal from the ECM.
Result
2. CHECK SPARK PLUG
(a) Check the electrode.
(1) Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation
resistance.
Standard insulation resistance:
10 M
or more
HINT:
• If a megohmmeter is not available, perform
the following simple inspection instead.
• If the result is 10 M
or less, clean the plug
and measure the resistance again.
(b) Alternative inspection method:
(1) Quickly accelerate the engine to 4,000 rpm 5
times.
(2) Remove the spark plug.
(3) Visually check the spark plug.
If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is
functioning properly. If the electrode is damp,
proceed to the next step.
(c) Check the spark plug for any damage on its threads
and insulator.
If there is damage, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug
(d) Check the spark plug electrode gap.
Maximum electrode gap for used spark plug:
1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the
spark plug.
Electrode gap for new spark plug:
1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.)

2. CHECK SPARK PLUG
(a) Check the electrode with megohmmeter:
(1) Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation
resistance.
Standard insulation resistance:
10 M
or more
If the result is 10 M
or less, clean the plug and
measure the resistance again.
(b) Check the electrode without megohmmeter:
(1) Quickly accelerate the engine to 4,000 rpm 5
times.
(2) Remove the spark plug.
(3) Visually check the spark plug.
If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is
functioning properly. If the electrode is damp,
proceed to the next step.
(c) Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread
and insulator.
If there is damage, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug
(d) Check the spark plug electrode gap.
Maximum electrode gap for used spark plug:
1.4 mm (0.055 in.)
If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the
spark plug.
Electrode gap for new spark plug:
1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.)
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, clean the
electrode with a spark plug cleaner and then dry it.
Standard air pressure:
588 kPa (6 kgf/cm
2, 85 psi)
Standard duration:
20 seconds or less
HINT:
Only use the spark plug cleaner when the electrode
is free of oil. If the electrode has traces of oil, use
gasoline to clean off the oil before using the spark
plug cleaner.
