2022 SUZUKI JIMNY transmission

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.

NOTICE
When installing the spark plugs, screw them in with your fingers to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten the spark plugs with a torque wrench to 17.5 Nm (1.7 kg­m, 12.9 lb-ft). Do not allow contami­nants to enter the engine through the spark plug holes when the plugs are removed. Never use spark plugs with the wrong thread size.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
To check the gear oil level, use the fol­lowing 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 transmission;
3) If gear oil fiows from the plug hole, the oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If gear oil does not fiow from the plug hole, add oil through the filler plug hole until oil fiows a little from the plug hole.

78RB07010
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.
