INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
75RM4-01E
NOTE:
(For EU countries)
The replacement timing varies with the
type of engine oil that you choose.
Refer to “Maintenance schedule” in this
section for corresponding maintenance
schedule.
SAE 0W-16 (1) is the best choice for good
fuel economy and good starting in cold
weather.
NOTE:
We recommend that you use SUZUKI gen-
uine oil. To purchase it, see your SUZUKI
dealer. K12M engine models
71LST0701
(1) Preferred
Be sure that the engine oil you use comes
under the quality classification of SG, SH,
SJ, SL, SM or SN. Select the appropriate
oil viscosity according to the above chart.
SAE 0W-20 (1) is the best choice for good
fuel economy, and good starting in cold
weather.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Engine coolantSelection of coolantTo maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use SUZUKI gen-
uine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE:
If you use the engine coolant other than
the SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) for replace-
ment, 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 properengine temperature.
• It gives proper protection against freez- ing and boiling.
• It gives proper protection against corro- sion and rust. Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
SUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
Coolant level checkCheck the coolant le
vel at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
“FULL” and “LOW” marks.Adding 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 freez-
ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Check that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distill ed water and in no
case higher than 70/30. Concentra-
tions greater than 70/30 coolant to
distilled water will cause overheat-
ing conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant nor plain water (except SUZUKI LLC:
Super (Blue)).
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi- tives. 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 or CVT (if
equipped) damage.
WA R N I N G
Swallowing engine coolant can cause
severe injury or death. Inhaling cool-
ant mist or vapors or getting coolant
in your eyes could result in severe
injury.
• Do not drink antifreeze or coolantsolution. If swallowed, do not
induce vomiting. Immediately con-
tact a poison control center or a
physician.
• Avoid inhaling coolant mist or hot
vapors. If inhaled, remove to a
fresh air area.
• If coolant gets in the eyes, flush
with water and seek medical atten-
tion.
• Wash thoroughly after handling
coolant.
• Keep engine coolant out of the
reach of children and pets.
