2021 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA oil change

7-22
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
54P00-01E
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, and then remove it again.
The oil on the stick should be between the
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.
If the oil level indication is near the lower
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to
the upper limit.NOTE:
When the soot particles accumulated in
the DPF
® are combusted, the amount of
the engine oil may increase due to the dilu-
tion with the fuel. This is not a vehicle mal-
function. The soot particles accumulated in
the DPF
® are combusted automatically
during driving. However, they may not be
combusted in the following cases.
• When you drive at low speed for a long
time
• When you repeat a short-time or short-
distance driving
1) When the DPF
® warning light comes
on, drive at a speed of 50 km/h (31
mph) or higher for more than 25 min-
utes to regenerate the DPF
® properly.
For details, refer to “Diesel particulate
filter (DPF
®)” in “OPERATING YOUR
VEHICLE” section.
2) When the oil change request light
blinks, change the engine oil and oil fil-
ter, and reset the oil life monitoring sys-
tem. To reset the oil life monitoring
system, consult your SUZUKI dealer.
3) When the engine oil level exceeds the
MAX level on the dipstick, consult your
SUZUKI dealer.
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 the oil. Too much oil is almost
as bad 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 minutes
and check the oil level again.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
NOTICE
(For diesel engine model)
Do not top up the oil over the MAX
limit. Too much oil causes serious
engine trouble.

5) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket.
Tighten the plug with a wrench to the
specified torque.
NOTE:
• Whenever the engine oil is changed, the
oil life monitoring must be reset to moni-
tor the next oil change timing properly.
To reset the light, consult your SUZUKI
dealer. If you reset it by yourself, refer to
“Setting mode” in “BEFORE DRIVING”
section (for gasoline engine model).
• For more information of the oil change
request light and oil life monitoring, refer
to “Oil change request light (if equipped)”
and “Information display” in “BEFORE
DRIVING” section.
Oil filter replacement
NOTE:
(For diesel engine model)
Since special procedures and tools are
required, ask your authorized SUZUKI
dealer for this job.
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 the
new filter will be seated.
3) Smear a small amount of engine oil
around the rubber gasket of the new oil
filter.
4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil-
ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-
face.(For gasoline engine model)

(Continued)
To minimize your exposure to used
oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moisture-proof gloves (such as dish-
washing gloves) when changing oil. If
oil contacts your skin, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if it is
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used
oil and oil filters.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
54P00-01E
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
For the manual transaxle;
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a little from the plug hole.
For the transfer and rear differential;
3) Check 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 oil filler and level plug hole
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, and then reinstall the
plug.
Tightening torque for oil filler and level
plug
Manual transaxle (1) or (2):
21 Nm (2.1 kg-m, 15.5 lb-ft)
Transfer (3) / Rear differential (4):
23 Nm (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Gear oil change
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required, ask your authorized
SUZUKI dealer for this job.
Clutch pedal
Fluid control clutch
61MM0B067
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 SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch fluid level
is near “MIN” line, fill it up to “MAX” line
with SAE J1704 or DOT4 brake fluid.
CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler and
level plug are cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing gear oil level.
NOTICE
When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.

5) Clean any mud or dirt off from the sur-
face of the wheel (1), hub (2), thread
part (3) and surface of the wheel bolts
(4) with a clean cloth. Clean the hub
carefully; it may be hot from driving.
6) Install the new wheel and replace the
wheel bolts with their cone shaped end
facing the wheel. Tighten each bolt
snugly by hand until the wheel is
securely seated on the hub.

Tightening torque for wheel bolt
85 Nm (8.7 kg-m, 62.7 lb-ft)
7) Lower the jack and fully tighten the
bolts with a wrench in numerical order
as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE
Never apply a garage jack to the
exhaust pipe, side under spoiler (if
equipped), engine undercover or rear
torsion beam.
WA R N I N G
• Shift into “R” (Reverse) when you
jack up the vehicle.

WA R N I N G
Use genuine wheel bolts and tighten
them to the specified torque as soon
as possible after changing wheels.
Incorrect wheel bolts or improperly
tightened wheel bolts may come
loose or fall off, which can result in
an accident. If you do not have a
torque wrench, have the wheel bolt
torque checked by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
