Refill with oil and oil leakage check
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to "Recommended fuel / lubricants and capacities (approx.)" in "SPECIFICATIONS" section. 2) Start the engine and carefully check the oil filter and the drain plug for leakage. Run the engine at various speeds for at least 5 minutes. 3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 minutes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leakage again.
NOTICE
When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a genuine SUZUKI replacement filter. If you use an aftermarket filter, check that it is of equivalent quality and follow the manufacturer's instructions. • Oil leakage from the periphery of the oil filter or drain plug indicate incorrect installation or gasket damage. If you find any leakage or are not sure that the filter has been properly tightened, have the vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine coolant
Selection of coolant
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant; This coolant is already diluted to the proper percentage. Do not dilute with distilled water additionally. Doing so may result in the possibility of freezing and/or overheating coolant.
To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use SUZUKI genuine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE: If you use the engine coolant other than the SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) for replacement, follow the schedule of SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green). To see the detail of the maintenance schedule, refer to "Periodic maintenance schedule" in this section.
This type of coolant is the best for cooling system for the following reasons: • The coolant helps maintain proper engine temperature. It gives proper protection against freezing and boiling. It gives proper protection against corrosion and rust.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Failure to use the proper coolant can damage your cooling system. Your SUZUKI dealer can help you select the proper coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling system: Always use a high quality ethylene glycol base non-silicate type coolant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration. Check that the proper mix is 50/50 coolant to distilled water and in no case higher than 70/30. Concentrations greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled water will cause overheating conditions. Do not use straight coolant nor plain water (except "SUZUKI LLC: Super {Blue)"). . • Do not add extra inhibitors or additives. They may not be compatible with your cooling system. Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in accelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine/automatic transmission damage.
