of the vehicle’s useful life. SUZUKI, however, urges that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated inter-
vals and the maintenance recorded.

Maintenance Recommended under Severe Driving ConditionsFollow this schedule if your car is mainly operated under one or more of the following conditions:
 When most trips are less than 6 kilometers (4 miles)
 When most trips are less than 16 kilometers (10 miles) and outside temperature remain below freezing.
 Idling and/or low-speed operation in stop-and-go traffic.
 Operating in dusty areas.
Schedule should also be followed if the car is used for delivery service, police, taxi or other commercial applications.

Engine Oil and Filter: 1, 2

Engine Oil and FilterSpecified Oil
52D083
(1) Preferred
Use engine oil with the American Petro-
leum Institute Certified For Gasoline
Engines “Starburst” symbol.
Select the appropriate oil viscosity accord-
ing to the above chart.
We highly recommend you use SAE 5W-
30 oil.
Oil Level CheckEngine oil dipstick
80G064
It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct level for proper lubrication of your
vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with
the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level
indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle
is on a slope. The oil level should be
checked either before starting the engine
or at least 5 minutes after stopping the
engine.
52D084
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored yellow for easy identification.
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, then remove it again. The
oil on the stick should be between the
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.
If the oil level indication is near the lower
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to
the upper limit.
CAUTION
Failure to use the recommended oil
can result in engine damage.C

Gear Oil Level CheckThe manual transaxle, transfer gears
(AWD A/T) and rear differential (AWD) are
lubricated with gear oil. To check the gear
oil level in any of the above locations, use
the following procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface. Set
parking brake and stop the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug (1).
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your fin-
ger. If the oil level comes up to the bot-
tom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the filler plug hole (1) until the
oil level reaches the bottom of the filler
hole.Gear Oil ReplacementSince special procedures, materials and
tools are required to change the automatic
transaxle oil, it is recommended that you
trust this job to your authorized SUZUKI
dealer.

Changing OilSince special procedures, materials and

trust this job to your authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
Engine Coolant
54G101
60A208
Selection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use SUZUKI
Genuine Coolant or equivalent.
This type of coolant is best for your cooling
system as it:
 Helps maintain proper engine tempera-
ture.
 Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
 Gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
SUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
CAUTION
After checking or adding oil, be sure
to insert the dipstick securely.
FULLLOW
EXAMPLE

LOW
CAUTION
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
 Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base phosphate type coolant
diluted with distilled water at the
correct mixture concentration.
 Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water and in
no case higher than 70/30. Concen-
trations greater than 70/30 coolant
to distilled water will cause over-
heating conditions.
 Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water.
