NOTE:
Steps 1) - 6) outlined above must be performed
with ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 7),
be sure to have adequate ventilation while
engine is running
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE or
SF class.
NOTE:For temperatures below
32”F(O”C), it is highly
recommended to use SAE 5W-30 oil.

5. COOLING SYSTEM HOSES AND
CONNECTIONS INSPECTION
1) Visually inspect cooling system hoses for any
evidence of leakage and cracks. Examine them
for damage, and check connection clamps
for tightness.
2) Replace all hoses which show evidence of
leakage, cracks or other damage. Replace all
clamps which cannot maintain proper tight-
ness.
6. ENGINE COOLANT CHANGE
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do
not remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under pressure if
the cap is taken off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug @
to drain
coolant.
3) Remove reservoir tank 0, which is on the
side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug
@ securely. Also reinstall reser-
voir tank.

4. ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGEBefore draining engine oil, check engine for oil
leakage. If any evidence of leakage is found,
make sure to correct defective part before
proceeding to the following work.
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean.
Reinstall drain plug, and tighten it securely.

3) Loosen oil filter by using oil filter wrench
“A” (special tool 09915-47310).
4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand
until the filter “0” ring contacts the mounting
surface.
ICAUTION:
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is important to accurately identify the
1-position at which the filter “0” ring first
contacts the mounting surface.

inlet is atop the cylinder head cover.
7) Start engine and run it for three minutes.
Stop engine and wait another three minutes
before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary,
to bring oil level to FULL level mark on dip
stick.
NOTE:
Before fitting new oil filter, be sure to oil its
“0” ring. Use engine oil for this purpose.

CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture
of 56% water and 50% GOLDEN CRUISER
1200for the market where ambient tem-
perature falls lower than -16°C (3°F) in
winter and mixture of 70% water and
30% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200for the
market where ambient temperature doesn’t
fall lower than -16°C (3” F).
Even in a market where no freezing tempe-
rature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water
and 30% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200
should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.

WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust system when system is hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be
performed when system is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the
car is raised for other service, check exhaust
system as follows:
l Check rubber mountings for damage, deterio-
ration, and out of position.
l Check exhaust system for leakage, loose
connections, dents, and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to
specification. Refer to below chart for torque
specification.
l Check nearby body areas for damaged, miss-
ing, or mispositioned parts, open seams,
holes, loose connections or’ other defects
which could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the car.
l Make sure that exhaust system components
have enough clearance from the underbody to
avoid overheating and possible damage to the
floor carpet.
l Any defects should be fixed at once.
