0B-10 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait five min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring oil
level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
NOTE:
Step 1) ± 7) outlined above must be performed with ENGINE
NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have adequate ven-
tilation while engine is running.
ITEM 1-5
Engine Coolant Change
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if 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, which is on the side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug securely. Also reinstall reservoir.
5) Fill radiator with specified amount of coolant, and run engine for
2 or 3 minutes at idle. This drives out any air which may still be
trapped within cooling system. STOP ENGINE. Add coolant as
necessary until coolant level reaches the filler throat of radiator.
Reinstall radiator cap.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-25
Steering

Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from in-
stability, or abnormally heavy feeling.

Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to
one side.
Engine

Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.

Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and
abnormal vibration.
Body, Wheels and Power Transmitting System
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting sys-
tem are free from abnormal noise and abnormal
vibration or any other abnormal condition.
Meters and Gauge
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, tem-
perature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
Lights
Check that all lights operate properly.
Windshield Defroster
Periodically check that air comes out from defroster
outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.
Set fan switch lever to ªHIº position for this check.

Caliper
Before installing caliper (cylinder body) to carrier, check to ensure
that guide pin (pin bolt) inserted in each caliper carrier hole can be
moved smoothly in thrust direction.
NOTE:
Where temperature gets as low as ±30
C in cold weather, use
rubber grease whose viscosity varies very little even at ±40
C
(±40
F).
INSTALLATION
1) Install caliper to caliper carrier.
2) Torque caliper pin bolts to specifications.

INSPECTION AND CHANGE
1) Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop engine and lift
vehicle horizontally.
2) With vehicle lifted up, check oil level and leakage. If leakage ex-
ists, correct or repair it.
3) Drain old oil and fill new specified oil as shown below by speci-
fied amount (roughly up to level hole).
NOTE:

It is highly recommended to use SAE 75W-90 gear oil.

Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work
than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and
status of breather hoses.

If water or rust is mixed in drained oil, be sure to check
breather hose and boot of transmission and transfer.

NOTE:

When having driven through water, check immediately if wa-
ter has entered (if so, oil is cloudy). Water mixed oil must be
changed at once.

Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than
oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and status
of breather hoses.
Gear Oil Change
NOTE:

Hypoid gear oil must be used for differential.

It is highly recommended to use SAE 80W ± 90 viscosity.
1) Before oil change or inspection, be sure to stop engine and lift
up vehicle horizontally.
2) Check oil level and existence of leakage. If leakage is found, cor-
rect its cause.
3) Drain old oil and pour proper amount of gear oil as specified be-
low (roughly up to level hole).
4) Apply sealant to thread of drain plug (b) and torque plugs to
specification.
