Refilling
81A147
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is almost asbad as too little oil. After refilling, start the engine and allow it to idle for about a min- ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutesand check the oil level again.
Changing Engine Oil and FilterDrain the engine oil while the engine is stillwarm.

NOTICE
(For Diesel Engine Model) Do not top up the oil over the MAX limit. Too much oil causes serious engine trouble.

4) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to thespecified torque.
Replace the Oil Filter
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil fil-ter counterclockwise and remove it. 2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount- ing surface on the engine where thenew filter will be seated. 3) Smear a little engine oil around the rub- ber gasket of the new oil filter.4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting sur- face.

Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks1) Pour oil through the filler hole andinstall the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the “CAPACITIES” item in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run the engine at various speeds for at least5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min- utes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
Engine Coolant
Selection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance anddurability of your engine, use MARUTIGenuine Coolant or equivalent. This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it: Helps maintain proper engine tempera- ture. Gives proper protection against freezingand boiling. Gives proper protection against corro- sion and rust.Failure to use the proper coolant can dam- age your cooling system. Your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help you select the proper coolant.
Coolant Level CheckCheck the coolant level at the reservoirtank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be betweenthe “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
NOTICE
To tighten the oil filter properly, it isImportant to accurately identify theposition at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface.
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that the oil filter is tight, but do notover-tighten it.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-ommended that you use a Marutigenuine replacement filter. If you use an after market filter, make sure it is of equivalent quality and followthe manufacturer’s instructions. • Oil leaks from around the oil filter or drain plug indicate incorrectinstallation or gasket damage. If you find any leaks or are not sure that the filter has been properlytightened, have the vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys- tem: • Always use a high quality ethyleneglycol base non-silicate type cool- ant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration.• Make sure that the proper mix is 50/ 50 coolant to distilled water (Die- sel) and 30/70 (Petrol). Concentra-tions greater than this may cause overheating conditions. • Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%Plain water. • Do not add extra inhibitors or addi- tives. They may not be compatiblewith your cooling system. • Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result inaccelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine damage.

To check the gear oil level, use the follow- ing 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 thebottom of the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so, reinstall the plug. 4) If the oil level is low, add gear oilthrough the oil filler plug hole (1) until the oil level reaches the bottom of the filler hole, then reinstall the plug.

Measure the clutch pedal play by moving the clutch pedal with your hand and mea- suring the distance it moves until you feelslight resistance. The play in the clutch pedal should be between the specified val- ues. If the play is more or less than theabove, or clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.
Fluid Control Clutch (if equipped)
76MH034
Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera-tion and clutch fluid level from time to time.If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If the clutchfluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX” line with Maruti genuine brake fluid.
