Repair Instructions
Accessory Drive Belt InspectionS7RS0B0206001
WARNING!
All inspection and replacement are to be
performed with ENGINE NOT RUNNING.

Water Pump and Generator Drive Belt1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cu ts, deformation, wear and
cleanliness. If any defect exists, replace.
Check belt for tension.
Water pump and generator belt tension
“a”: 4.5 – 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) deflection
under 100 N (10 kg, 22 lb) pressure
NOTE
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust
belt tension to 3.5 – 4 mm (0.14 – 0.16 in.)

3) If belt is too tight or too loose, adjust it to
specification by adjusting alternator position.
4) Tighten alternator adjusting bolts and pivot bolt.
5) Connect negative (–) cable to battery. A/C Compressor Drive Belt
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanliness. If any defect exists, replace.
Check belt for tension.
If belt tension is out of specification, adjust it
referring to “Compressor Dr ive Belt Inspection and
Adjustment in Section 7B”.
A/C compressor drive belt tension
“a”: 7 – 8 mm (0.28 – 0.31 in.) deflection under
100 N (10 kg, 22 lb) pressure
NOTE
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust

Replace belt with new one referring to “Water Pump /
Generator Drive Belt Removal and Installation in Section
1J”.
A/C Compressor Drive Belt
Replace belt with new one referring to “Compressor
Drive Belt Removal and Inst allation in Section 7B”.
Valve Lash (Clearance) InspectionS7RS0B0206003
Inspect intake and exhaust valve lash and adjust as
necessary.
Refer to “Valve Lash (Clearance) Inspection in Section
1D” for valve lash inspection and adjustment procedure.
Engine Oil and Filter ChangeS7RS0B0206004
WARNING!
• New and used engine oil can be
hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in “General
Precautions in Section 00” and observe
what is written there.
• Step 1) – 7) outlined below must be performed with ENGINE NOT RUNNING.
For Step 8), be sure to have adequate
ventilation while engine is running.

Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage.
If any evidence of leakage is found, make sure to correct
defective part before proceeding to the following work.
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall drain plug.
Tightening torque
Engine oil drain plug (a): 35 N·m (3.5 kgf-m, 25.5
lb-ft)
3) Loosen oil filter by using oil filter wrench (special
tool).
Special tool
(A): 09915–47331
NOTE
Before fitting new oil filter, be sure to oil its
O-ring. Use engine oil for this purpose.

4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until the filter O-ring contacts mounting surface.
CAUTION!
To tighten oil filter prop erly, it is important to
accurately identify the position at which filter
O-ring first contacts mounting surface.

5) Tighten the filter (1) 3/4 tu rn from the point of contact
with the mounting surface using an oil filter wrench
(2).
Tightening torque
Oil filter (b): 14 N·m (1 .4 kgf-m, 10.5 lb-ft) for
reference
6) Replenish oil until oil leve l is brought to FULL level
mark on dipstick (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The
filler inlet is at the top of the cylinder head cover. It is
recommended to use engine oil of SG, SH, SJ, SL or
SM grade. Select the appropriate oil viscosity
according to the proper engine oil viscosity chart [A].
NOTE
Engine oil capacity is specified as the
following.
However, note that the amount of oil required
when actually changing oil may somewhat
differ from the data depending on various
conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).

Engine oil specification
Oil pan capacity: About 3.7 liters (7.8 / 6.5 US /
lmp pt.)
Oil filter capacity: About 0.2 liter (0.4 / 0.3 US /
lmp pt.)
Others: About 0.3 liter (0 .6 / 0.5 US / lmp pt.)
Total: About 4.2 liters (8.9 / 7.4 US / lmp pt.) 7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait
another 5 minutes before checking oil level. Add oil,
as necessary, to bring oil le vel to FULL level mark (1)
on dipstick.
Engine Coolant ChangeS7RS0B0206005
WARNING!
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not
remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam
can be blown out under pressure if cap is
taken off too soon.

CAUTION!
When changing engine coolant, use mixture
of 50% specified water and 50% ANTIFREEZE
/ ANTICORROSION COOLANT for the
purpose of corrosion protection and
lubrication.

Change engine coolant with new one referring to
“Cooling System Flush and Refill in Section 1F”.
