0B±5 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Explanation of Complete Vehicle
Maintenance Schedule
Brief explanations of the services listed in the preceding
Maintenance Schedule are presented below.
Replace all questionable parts and note any necessary
repairs as you perform these maintenance procedures.
Front and Rear Axle Lubricant
Replacement
Check the lubricant level after every 7,500 miles (12,000
km) of operation and add lubricant to level of filler hole if
necessary.
Replace the front and rear axle lubricant at 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) and 30,000 miles (48,000 km) and after
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) of operation thereafter.
Air Cleaner Element Replacement
Replace the air cleaner under normal operating
conditions every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
Operation of the vehicle in dusty areas will necessitate
more frequent replacement.
Spark Plug Replacement
Replace the plugs at 100,000 miles (160,000 km)
intervals with the type specified at the end of this section.
Cooling System Service
Drain, flush and refill system with new engine coolant.
Refer to
ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº in this
section, or ENGINE COOLING (SEC.6B).
Timing Belt Replacement
Replacement of the timing belt is recommended at every
100,000 miles (160,000 km).
Failure to replace the timing belt may result in serious
damage to the engine.
Valve Clearance Adjustment
Incorrect valve clearance will result in increased engine
noise and reduced engine output.
Retorque the camshaft bracket bolts before checking and
adjusting the valve clearance.
Check and adjust the valve clearance whenever
increased engine noise is heard.
Tire Rotation
Rotate tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
Front Wheel Bearings Lubricant
Replacement (Vehicles Produced Before
July/31/2001)
Clean and repack the front wheel bearings at 30,000
miles (48,000 km) intervals.
Refer to DRIVE SHAFT SYSTEM (SEC. 4C).
Front Wheel Bearings Check (Vehicles
Produced After Aug./1/2001)
Inspect hub unit bearing at every 60,000 miles (96,000
km).
If there is abnormal condition, replace hub unit bearing.
Radiator Core and Air Conditioning
Condenser Cleaning
Clean the front of the radiator core and air conditioning
condenser, at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) intervals.
Fluid Level Check
A fluid loss in any system (except windshield
washer) may indicate a problem. Repair the system
at once.
Engine oil level
Check level and add if necessary. The best time to check
the engine oil level is when the oil is warm. After stopping
the engine with the vehicle on a level surface, wait a few
minutes for the oil to drain back to the oil pan. Pull out the
oil level indicator (dipstick). Wipe it clean and push the oil
level indicator back down all the way. Pull out the oil level
indicator, keeping the tip down, and look at the oil level on
it.
Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the ªADDº
mark and between the ªADDº and ªFULLº marks in the
operating range area. Avoid overfilling the engine since
this may cause engine damage. Push the oil level
indicator back down all the way after taking the reading.
If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the
engine first. The cold oil will not drain back to the pan fast
enough to give a true oil level.
Engine coolant level and condition
Check engine coolant level in the coolant reservoir and
add engine coolant if necessary. Inspect the engine
coolant and replace it if dirty or rusty.
Windshield washer fluid level
Check washer fluid level in the reservoir and add if
necessary.
Power steering system reservoir level
Check and keep at the proper level.
Brake master cylinder reservoir level
Check fluid. Keep fluid at proper level. A low fluid level can
indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be
serviced.
Hydraulic clutch system
Check fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid as required.
Battery fluid level
Check fluid level in the battery.
Fluid Leak Check
Check for fuel, water, oil or other fluid leaks by looking at
the surface beneath the vehicle after it has been parked
for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning
system after use is normal. If you notice gasoline fumes or
fluid at any time, locate the source and correct it at once.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement
Always use API SE, SF, SG, SH or ILSAC GF±1 quality
oils of the proper viscosity.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of
temperatures the car will be operated in before the next oil
change. Then, select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.
Page 20 of 2100
0B±6MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Always change the oil and the oil filter as soon as possible
after driving in a dust storm.
Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the coolant/anti±freeze. If the coolant is dirty or
rusty, drain, flush and refill with new coolant. Keep coolant
at the proper mixture for proper freeze protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and best engine operating
temperature. Inspect hoses and replace if cracked,
swollen or deteriorated. Tighten the hose clamps if
equipped with screw±type clamps. Clean outside of
radiator and air conditioning condenser. Wash filler cap
and neck. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure
test of both the cooling system and the cap is also
recommended.
Exhaust System Inspection
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler, heat shields
and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage.
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the exhaust
system or any smell of fumes. These are signs the system
may be leaking or overheating. Repair the system at
once, if these conditions exist. (See also ªEngine Exhaust
Gas Safetyº and ªThree Way Catalytic Converterº in the
Owner's manual.)
Fuel Cap, Fuel Lines, and Fuel Tank
Inspection
Inspect the fuel tank, the fuel cap and the fuel lines every
60,000 miles (96,000 km) for damage which could cause
leakage.
Inspect the fuel cap and the gasket for correct sealing and
physical damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Drive Belt Inspection
Check the serpentine belt driving for cracks, fraying,
wear, and correct tension every 30,000 miles (48,000
km). Replace as necessary.
Wheel Alignment, Balance and Tires
Operation
Uneven or abnormal tire wear, or a pull right or left on a
straight and level road may show the need for a wheel
alignment. A vibration of the steering wheel or seat at
normal highway speeds means a wheel balancing is
needed. Check tire pressure when the tires are ªcoldº
(include the spare).
Maintain pressure as shown in the tire placard, which is
located on the driver's door lock pillar.
Steering System Operation
Be alert for any changes in steering operation. An
inspection or service is needed when the steering wheel
is harder to turn or has too much free play, or if there are
unusual sounds when turning or parking.
Brake Systems Operation
Watch for the ªBRAKEº light coming on. Other signs of
possible brake trouble are such things as repeated pulling
to one side when braking, unusual sounds when braking
or between brake applications, or increased brake pedaltravel. If you note one of these conditions, repair the
system at once.
For convenience, the following should be done when
wheels are removed for rotation: Inspect lines and hoses
for proper hookup, bindings, leaks, crack, chafing etc.
Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface
condition.
Inspect other brake parts, including parking brake drums,
linings etc., at the same time. Check parking brake
adjustment.
Inspect the brakes more often if habit or conditions
result in frequent braking.
Parking Brake and Transmission Park
Mechanism Operation
Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with the
parking brake only. This checks holding ability. On
automatic transmission vehicles, shifting from ªPº
position to the other positions cannot be made unless the
brake pedal is depressed when the key switch is in the
ªONº position or the engine is running.
WARNING: B E F O R E C H E C K I N G T H E S TA R T E R
SAFETY SWITCH OPERATION BELOW, BE SURE TO
HAVE ENOUGH ROOM AROUND THE VEHICLE.
THEN FIRMLY APPLY BOTH THE PARKING BRAKE
AND THE REGULAR BRAKE. DO NOT USE THE
ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IF THE ENGINE STARTS,
BE READY TO TURN OFF THE KEY PROMPTLY.
TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS BECAUSE THE
VEHICLE COULD MOVE WITHOUT WARNING AND
POSSIBLY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Starter Safety Switch Operation
Check by trying to start the engine in each gear while
setting the parking brake and the foot brake. The starter
should crank only in ªPº (Park) or ªNº (Neutral).
Accelerator Linkage Lubrication
Lubricate the accelerator pedal fulcrum pin with chassis
grease.
Steering and Suspension Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts or signs of
wear. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Body and Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate the key lock cylinders, the hood latch, the hood
and door hinges, the door check link, the parking cable
guides, the underbody contact points, and the linkage.
Propeller Shaft Inspection and Lubrication
Check the propeller shaft flange±to±pinion bolts for
proper torque to 63 Nwm (46 lb ft) for front and rear
propeller shaft.

HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
1A±19
Evaporation
The refrigerant is changed from a liquid to a gas inside the
evaporator. The refrigerant mist that enters the
evaporator vaporizes readily. The liquid refrigerant
removes the required quantity of heat (latent heat of
vaporization) from the air around the evaporator core
cooling fins and rapidly vaporizes. Removing the heat
cools the air, which is then radiated from the fins and
lowers the temperature of the air inside the vehicle.
The refrigerant liquid sent from the expansion valve and
the vaporized refrigerant gas are both present inside the
evaporator as the liquid is converted to gas.
With this change from liquid to gas, the pressure inside
the evaporator must be kept low enough for vaporization
to occur at a lower temperature. Because of that, the
vaporized refrigerant is sucked into the compressor.
Compression
The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor until it is
easily liquefied at normal temperature.
The vaporized refrigerant in the evaporator is sucked into
the compressor. This action maintains the refrigerant
inside the evaporator at a low pressure so that it can
easily vaporize, even at low temperatures close to 0C
(32F).
Also, the refrigerant sucked into the compressor is
compressed inside the cylinder to increase the pressure
and temperature to values such that the refrigerant can
easily liquefy at normal ambient temperatures.
Condensation
The refrigerant inside the condenser is cooled by the
outside air and changes from gas to liquid.
The high temperature, high pressure gas coming from the
compressor is cooled and liquefied by the condenser with
outside air and accumulated in the receiver/drier. The
heat radiated to the outside air by the high temperature,
high pressure gas in the compressor is called heat of
condensation. This is the total quantity of heat (heat of
vaporization) the refrigerant removes from the vehicle
interior via the evaporator and the work (calculated as the
quantity of heat) performed for compression.
Expansion
The expansion valve lowers the pressure of the
refrigerant liquid so that it can easily vaporize.
The process of lowering the pressure to encourage
vaporization before the liquefied refrigerant is sent to the
evaporator is called expansion. In addition, the expansion
valve controls the flow rate of the refrigerant liquid while
decreasing the pressure.
That is, the quantity of refrigerant liquid vaporized inside
the evaporator is determined by the quantity of heat which
must be removed at a prescribed vaporization
temperature. It is important that the quantity of refrigerant
be controlled to exactly the right value.
Compressor
The compressor performs two main functions:It compresses low-pressure and low-temperature
refrigerant vapor from the evaporator into high-pressure
and high-temperature refrigerant vapor to the condenser.
It pumps refrigerant and refrigerant oil through the air
conditioning system.
This vehicle is equipped with a five-vane rotary
compressor.
The specified amount of the compressor oil is 150cc
(5.0 fl. oz.).
The oil used in the HFC-134a system compressor differs
from that used in R-12 systems.
Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to the
compressor model. Be sure to avoid mixing two or more
different types of oil.
If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and the
compressor will seize or malfunction.
The magnetic clutch connector is a waterproof type.
Magnetic Clutch
The compressor is driven by the drive belt from the crank
pulley of the engine. If the compressor is activated each
time the engine is started, this causes too much load to
the engine. The magnetic clutch transmits the power from
the engine to the compressor and activates it when the air
conditioning is ON. Also, it cuts off the power from the
engine to the compressor when the air conditioning is
OFF. Refer to
Compressor in this section for magnetic
clutch repair procedure.

(2) Magnetic Clutch Connector
(3) Compressor
Condenser
The condenser assembly is located in front of the radiator.
It provides rapid heat transfer from the refrigerant to the
cooling fins.
Also, it functions to cool and liquefy the high-pressure and
high-temperature vapor sent from the compressor by the
radiator fan or outside air.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO
DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING
SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR
THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING
SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR
THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.
General Description
When servicing the compressor, keep dirt or foreign
material from getting on or into the compressor parts and
system. Clean tools and a clean work area are important
for proper service. The compressor connections and the
outside of the compressor should be cleaned before any
ºOn±Vehicleº repair, or before removal of the
compressor. The parts must be kept clean at all times and
any parts to be reassembled should be cleaned with
Trichloroethane, naphtha, kerosene, or equivalent
solvent, and dried with dry air. Use only lint free cloths to
wipe parts.
The operations described below are based on bench
overhaul with compressor removed from the vehicle,
except as noted. They have been prepared in order of
accessibility of the components. When the compressor is
removed from the vehicle for servicing, the oil remaining
in the compressor should be discarded and new
compressor oil added to the compressor.
Compressor malfunction will appear in one of four ways:
noise, seizure, leakage or low discharge pressure.
Resonant compressor noises are not cause for alarm;
however, irregular noise or rattles may indicate broken
parts or excessive clearances due to wear. To check
seizure, de±energize the magnetic clutch and check tosee if the drive plate can be rotated. If rotation is
impossible, the compressor is seized. Low discharge
pressure may be due to a faulty internal seal of the
compressor, or a restriction in the compressor. Low
discharge pressure may also be due to an insufficient
refrigerant charge or a restriction elsewhere in the
system. These possibilities should be checked prior to
servicing the compressor. If the compressor is
inoperative, but is not seized, check to see if current is
being supplied to the magnetic clutch coil terminals.
The compressor oil used in the HFC±134a system
compressor differs from that used in R±12 systems.
Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to the
compressor model. Be sure to avoid mixing two or more
different types of oil.
If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and the
compressor will seize or malfunction.
DKV-14G Type Compressor
DKV±14G is equipped with five±vane rotary compressor.
These vanes are built into a rotor which is mounted on a
shaft.
When the shaft rotates, the vanes built into the cylinder
block assembly are operated by centrifugal force.
This changes the volume of the spare formed by the rotor
and cylinder, resulting in the intake and compression of
the refrigerant gas. The discharge valve and the valve
stopper, which protects the discharge valve, are built into
the cylinder block assembly. There is no suction valve but
a shaft seal is installed between the shaft and head; a
trigger valve, which applies back pressure to the vanes, is
installed in the cylinder block and a refrigerant gas
temperature sensor is installed in the front head.
The specified quantity of compressor oil is contained in
the compressor to lubricate the various parts using the
refrigerant gas discharge pressure.

Compressor Oil
Oil Specification
The HFC-134a system requires a synthetic (PAG)
compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires a
mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never be
mixed.
Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to
compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the
model of compressor.
Always use HFC-134a Vane Rotary Type
Compressor Oil (AIPDN Part No.2-90188-301-0)
Handling of Oil
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal
powder, etc.
Do not mix with other oil.
The water content in the oil increases when exposed
to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately.
(HFC-134a Vane Rotary Compressor Oil absorbs
moisture very easily.)
The compressor oil must be stored in steel
containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor Oil Check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with
the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a
large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain
the original amount of oil.
Oil Capacity
Capacity total in system: 150cc (5.0 fl.oz)
Compressor (Service parts) charging amount:
150 cc (5.0 fl.oz)
Checking and Adjusting Oil Quantity
for Used Compressor
1. Perform oil return operation. Refer to Oil Return
Operation in this section.
2. Discharge and recover refrigerant and remove the
compressor.
3. Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted
oil with a measuring cylinder.
4. If the amount of oil drained is much less than 90 cc
(3.0 fl. oz.), some refrigerant may have leaked out.
Conduct a leak tests on the connections of each
system, and if necessary, repair or replace faulty
parts.
5. Check the compressor oil contamination. (Refer to
Contamination of Compressor Oil in this section.)
6. Adjust the oil level following the next procedure
below.(Charging Amount)

amount
less than 90 cc (3.0 fl.oz)90cc (3.0 fl.oz)
7. Install the compressor, then evacuate, charge and
perform the oil return operation.
8. Check system operation.
When it is impossible to preform oil return operation,
the compressor oil should be checked in the
following order:
1. Discharge and recover refrigerant and remove the
compressor.
2. Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted
oil with a measuring cylinder.
3. Check the oil for contamination.
4. If more than 90 cc (3.0 fl. oz.) of oil is extracted from
the compressor, supply the same amount of oil to the
compressor to be installed.
5. If the amount of oil extracted is less than 90 cc (3.0 fl.
oz.), recheck the compressor oil in the following
order.
6. Supply 90 cc (3.0 fl. oz.) of oil to the compressor and
install it onto the vehicle.
7. Evacuate and recharge with the proper amount of
refrigerant.
8. Perform the oil return operation.
9. Remove the compressor and recheck the amount of
oil.
10. Adjust the compressor oil, if necessary.
