ENGINE OIL CHECK
1. Pull out the level gauge slowly and check that the oil
level is in the illustrated range.
2. Check that the oil is not excessively dirty, that there is
no coolant or petrol mixed in, and that it has sufficient
viscosity.
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the
temperature of the coolant reaches 80_Cto90_C.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
Caution
Use care as oil could be hot.
4. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the
direction shown in the illustration, and then tighten the
drain plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39±5 N·m
NOTE
Install the drain plug gasket so it faces in the direction
shown in the illustration.
5. Refill with specified quantity of oil.
Specified Engine Oil (ACEA and API classification):
ACEA A1, A2, A3 / API SG or higher
API SE or higher
Total quantity
(Includes volume inside oil filter and oil cooler):
5.1 L
NOTE
SAE 5W-30 can be only used at the area where the
lowest temperature is lower than the applicable
temperature of SAE 5W-30.
6. Install the engine oil filler cap.
7. Check oil level.
