When adding gear oil, use gear oil with the
appropriate viscosity and grade as shown
in the chart below. We highly recommend you use: API GL-4 SAE 75W-90 for manual transmission gear oil API GL-5 hypoid gear oil SAE 80W-90 for
front differential oil, rear differential oil and
transfer gear oil

Gear Oil Level Check To check the gear oil level, use the following procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug (1). 3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom (transfer case: within 10 mm from the bottom) 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 oil filler plug hole (1) until

the oil level reaches the bottom of the Clutch Pedal filler hole, then reinstall the plug.
.A WARNING
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler
plug is cool enough to touch with your W\\N bare hands before inspecting gear
oil.
CAUTION
When tightening the plug, apply sealing compound "SUZUKI Bond No. 1215" or equivalent to the plug threads to prevent oil leakage.
Gear Oil Change To change the gear oil in the manual transmission, transfer case or differential(s), use
the following procedure:
1) Remove the oil filler plug (1). 2) Remove the drain plug (2), drain the oil, and reinstall the drain plug. 3) Pour new gear oil of the specified 'type
through the filler hole until the oil level reaches the bottom of the filler hole. 4) Reinstall the filler plug.

Check the clutch pedal for smooth operation and clutch fluid level from time to time. If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by
your SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch fluid level is near the "MIN" line, fill it up to the "MAX"
line with SAE J1703 or DOT-3 brake fluid.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
Fluid
Specified Fluid Use an automatic transmission fluid
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309.
Fluid Level Check
CAUTION
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transmission.
You must check the fluid level with the
automatic transmission fluid at normal operating temperature.
To check the fluid level: 1) To warm up the transmission fluid, drive
the vehicle or idle the engine until the
temperature gauge indicates normal operating temperature. 2) Then drive for ten more minutes.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the specified automatic transmission fluid. Using automatic transmission fluid other than SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309 may damage the automatic transmission of your vehicle.
