When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose, install air relief plug.
5. Install radiator cap.
6. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warm ing-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000
rpm.
Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching r adiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
7. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50 °C (122 °F).
Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill engine coolant up to filler neck of thermostat housing.
8. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops.
10. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
11. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.
Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
12. Repeat step 11 three times.
13. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 4 through 7 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug. CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-242, "
Dis-
assembly and Assembly".
2. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
3. Fill thermostat housing with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill
thermostat housing and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature. Reservoir tank engine coolant capacity

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (VK45DE ENGINE)
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the system. Refer to "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT".
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000001328912
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Air Cleaner FilterINFOID:0000000001328913
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning between replacement intervals. Refer to MA-5.
1. Remove air duct (inlet), air cleaner case and mass air flow sensor assembly. Refer to EM-173
.
2. Remove air cleaner filter from air cleaner case.
Changing Engine OilINFOID:0000000001328914
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yoursel f, as engine oil may be hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause ski n cancer. Try to avoid direct skin
contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer
to LU-23, "
Inspection".
3. Stop engine and wait for 15 minutes.
4. Loosen oil filler cap, and then remove drain plug.
5. Drain engine oil.
6. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-183
.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
7. Refill with new engine oil. Engine oil specification and viscosity:
Refer to MA-9
.
