GEAR OILOil filler and level plug 1
Tightening torque: 21 Nm (2.1 kg-m, 15.5
lb-ft)
Specified Manual Transmission oil
When adding gear oil, use the appropriate
viscosity and grade as shown in the chart
below. We highly recommend you use API
GL-4 SAE 75W-90 (1) gear oil.
Type of oil Gear oil, API GL-4
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) Clean casing around oil filler plug to remove risk of any loose dirt or debris
entering oil filler plug hole. Remove the
oil filler plug 1.
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to 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 filler plug hole 1 until the
oil level reaches the bottom of the filler
hole, then reinstall the plug. After driving the vehicle, the
transmission oil temperature may be
high enough to burn you. Wait until
the oil filler plug is cool enough to
touch with your bare hands before
inspecting transmission oil.
When tightening the plug, apply
sealing compound to the plug threads
to prevent oil leakage.
Gear oil change
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required, it is recommended that
you trust this job to your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
