228 Vehicle Care
This Engine Oil Viscosity Grade
Chart shows general information.
For this vehicle, oil with *W-40
viscosity is recommended.
Changing the Engine Oil and
Oil Filter
Engine oil and the oil filter are
important factors in engine
performance and lifespan. Be sure
to use only the specified oil and oilfilters. The engine oil level must be
checked and the oil should be
changed regularly according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
Use the indicated oil quantities only
as guidelines when changing the
engine oil. After changing the oil,
make sure the oil is at the required
level. See
Capacities and
Specifications 0335. Failure to use the recommended
engine oil could result in engine or
DPF breakdown, or in poor fuel
efficiency. Be sure to use the
recommended engine oil.
Engine oil change precaution:
.
When adding oil, remove the
dipstick.
. After adding oil, wait for at least
5 minutes before starting the
engine. Be sure to reinstall the
dipstick.
Discarded Parts, Oils and
Other Liquids
When changing oils, filters, engine
coolant or other liquids, be sure to
have a container ready in advance
for their disposal.
Use methods conforming to legal
requirements for discarding or
disposing of parts, oils, filters or
engine coolant after change or
replacement.
Do not dispose of used engine oil,
fuel or any other oil in a careless
manner such as pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams

Warning (Continued)
Engine coolant is flammable, and
therefore, it must be kept away
from flames and other heat
sources. Engine coolant also
could ignite if it comes in contact
with a hot surface, such as the
exhaust manifold. Exercise
caution to prevent this from
happening.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Preparing Engine Coolant
To prevent engine damage due to
freezing of the engine coolant and
to protect the cooling system from
corrosion, use a mixture of the
recommended type antifreeze and
water. If the engine of the vehicle is
at −30 °C (−22 °F) or above, the
coolant concentration should be
50%. Direct use of “50/50
Pre-diluted” product which is already
diluted to 50% concentration is
recommended. If the outside
temperature engine or vehicle is used at
−30 °C (−22 °F) or below,
coolant concentration of 55% is
recommended.
It is the owner ’s responsibility to:
. Maintain the engine cooling
system freeze protection at or
above −30 °C (−22 °F) (at or
below −30 °C (−22 °F) in colder
climates to ensure protection
against corrosion and loss of
engine coolant from boiling.
A 50/50 (55/45 for colder
climates) mixture of the
recommended type antifreeze
and water will provide freeze
protection to at or above −30 °C
(−22 °F), (at or below −30 °C
(−22 °F) in colder climates) and
boil protection to 128 °C
(262 °F). Periodic replacement
of engine coolant is needed to
replenish the anticorrosion
additives that wear out with use.
Engine coolant that has become
dark in color shows that it needs
to be changed.
. Use only the recommended
coolant. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0326. .
Do not use methanol-base
antifreeze, alcohol or plain water
alone in your vehicle at any time.
They will boil at a lower point
than that at which the engine
coolant temperature gauge will
warn of overheating, and they do
not provide proper protection
against corrosion.
Engine Coolant Quantity
For the quantity of engine coolant,
see Capacities and Specifications
0 335. After changing the engine
coolant, check that the engine
coolant is up to the specified level.
{Warning
For storage, close the cap of
coolant container securely and
keep it in a place inaccessible to
children.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Using any coolant other than that
recommended by your dealer could
cause damage to the engine,

{Warning
Always use fuses specified by the
dealer when replacing the
slow-blow fuse. Using fuses with
a rating other than that specified,
or using wire or tin foil, etc., could
result in fire or damage.
If the new fuses blow right away
and the cause is unknown,
contact your dealer.
Do not inspect or replace fuses
when the starter switch is in the
ON position. Doing so may lead
to an accident.
When inspecting fuses, be sure to
park the vehicle on flat, level
ground and apply chocks to the
wheels.It is not necessary to open or close
the cover unless trouble is found.
The relay box structure makes it
difficult for water to enter. If you
should spill water or a beverage of
the cover, however, wipe it off
before opening the cover.
The area around the cover will get
warm when the vehicle is being
driven, but this is not abnormal.
Wheels and Tires
The operating load and cold inflation
pressure on the rim and wheel must
not exceed the rim and wheel
manufacturer's recommendations
even though the tire may be
approved for a higher load or
inflation. Rim and wheel may be
identified (stamped) with maximum
load and maximum cold inflation
rating. For rims and wheels not so
identified or for service conditions
exceeding the rate capacities,
consult the rim and wheel
manufacturer to determine rim and
wheel capacities for the intended
service. The factory-installed tires
on this vehicle were selected to
provide the best all-around tire
performance for normal operation.
When inflated, as shown on the
vehicle, they have the load carrying
capacity to operate satisfactorily at
all loads up to and including the full
rated load specified for the vehicle.
For more information concerning the
differences in capacities of tires and
rims, refer to the
“Tire and Rim
Association Inc. Yearbook,” or your
authorized dealer or tire dealer.
