CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
7. Refill with new engine oil. Engine oil specificat ion and viscosity:
Refer to MA-9, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: (US qt, lmp qt)
CAUTION:
 When filling engine oil, do not pull out oil level gauge.
 The refill capacity depends on the engine oi l temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
 Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in engine.
8. Warm up the engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
9. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.

WARNING:
Be careful not to get burn yourself, as en
gine oil and engine coolant may be hot.
NOTE:
When removing oil cooler only, step 2 is unnecessary.

ing out.
 Remaining engine coolant in piping will come out. Use a tray to collect it.
CAUTION:
 Perform this step when the engine is cold.
 Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.

LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
 Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Apply liquid gasket to the liquid gasket application surface. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to GI-44
.
 Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating component.
 If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
 Do not retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.
 After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Checking Exhaust SystemINFOID:0000000001328918
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.
 If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking A/T FluidINFOID:0000000001328919
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem-
peratures of 30 to 50 °C (86 to 122 °F) using “COLD” range on A/
T fluid level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi- tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T flui d level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go. CAUTION:
To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T
fluid charging pipe, with the A/ T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add ATF to the A/T fluid
charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
5. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
6. Make the A/T fluid temperature approximately 65 °C (149 °F).
