ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
 Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
 If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.
 Oil pan (upper and lower)
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil level sensor
 Oil filter
 Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
 Front cover
 Mating surface between cylinder head and camshaft bracket
 Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
 Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
 Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
 Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
 Be careful not to get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
 When checking engine oil pressure, shift position should be “Neutral”, and apply parking brake
securely.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-6, "
Inspection".

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check the engine oil level. If engine is already
started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) as shown.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.

WARNING:
 Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
 For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in “Neutral position”, and apply the parking
brake securely.
1. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and
remove oil pressure switch using a suitable tool.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000001277598
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (MR ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, [ ] = At the specified mileage only.
NOTE:
 Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditions”.
(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged.
(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I" (Check-
ing the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(5) Perform only according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving conditions” for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
 Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditions”.
(1) Inspect once per year.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (K9K ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, D = Check filter and drain water
NOTE:
 Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditions”.
(1) The replacement interval for the timing belt is the maximum lifespan which should not be exceeded. Replace the timing
belt if it comes into contact with fuel. The frequency of replacement should be adapted depending on vehicle usage. See
“Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions”.
(2) Replace every 120,000 km/maximum 60 months. Replace drive belt if it comes into contact with fuel or damage is found
during inspection.
(3) First replace at 100,000 Km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles)/36 months. After first replace-
ment, perform "I" (checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement
interval.
(4) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(5) Replace every 40,000 km/48 months.
