recommended oil ISUZU TROOPER 1998 Service Repair Manual

GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and chock the
front or rear wheels before lifting the vehicle.
2. Use covers on the vehicle body, seats, and
floor to prevent damage and/or
contaminations.
3. Disconnect the grounding cable from the
battery before performing service operations.
This will prevent cable damage or burning due
to shortcircuiting.
4. Raise the vehicle with a jack set against the
recommended lifting points (see ÒLifting
instructionsÓ in this section).
5. Support the vehicle on chassis stands.
6. Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with
great care.
Spilling these liquids on painted surfaces will
damage the paint.
7. The use of the proper tool(s) and special tool(s)
where specified is essential to efficient,
reliable, and safe service operations.
8. Always use genuine ISUZU replacement parts.
9. Discard used cotter pins, gasket, plastic clips,
O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-
locking nuts at disassembly.
Normal function of these parts cannot be
guaranteed if they are reused.
10. Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups.
This will facilitate smooth and correct
reassembly.11. Keep fixing nuts and bolts separate.
Fixing nuts and bolts vary in hardness and
design according to installation positions.
12. Clean all parts before inspection or
reassembly.
13. Clean the oil ports and other openings with
compressed air to make certain that they are
free of dirt and obstructions.
14. Lubricate the rotating and sliding faces of all
moving parts with oil or grease before
installation.
15. Use the recommended liquid gasket to prevent
leakage.
16. Carefully observe all nut and bolt torque
specifications.
17. When service operation is completed, make a
final check to be sure service has been done
properly and problem has been corrected.
18. When removing or replacing parts that require
refrigerant to be discharged from the air
conditioning system, be sure to use the
following tools to recover and recycle the
Refrigerant-134a (R-134a).
For 134a:
Use the R-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System (ACR
4) or its
equivalent to prevent the discharge of
refrigerant into the air.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING 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 SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW WARNINGS 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 fasteners 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 specification.
Following these instructions can help you avoid
damage to parts and systems.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0BÐ7
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS, LUBRICANTS
AND FUELS
In order to obtain maximum performance and longest service life from your ISUZU vehicles, it is very
important to select and use correctly best lubricants and diesel fuels.
When lubricating, be sure to use ISUZU genuine lubricants or recommended lubricants listed below,
according to the maintenance schedule for each vehicle model.
The lubrication intervals in the maintenance schedule and the coverage and period of new vehicle warranty
are based on the use of ISUZU genuine lubricants or recommended lubricants as given in the chart which
will serve as a guide for selecting lubricants of proper brand name.

5C – 12 POWER ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
27. Depress the brake pedal to check if you feel
“sponginess” after the air has been removed from
all wheel cylinders and calipers. If the pedal feels
“spongy”, the entire bleeding procedure must be
repeated.
28. After the bleeding operation is completed on each
individual wheel, check the level of brake fluid in
the reservoir and replenish up to the “MAX” level if
necessary.
29. Attach the reservoir cap.
•If the diaphragm inside the cap is deformed,
reform it and install.
30. Stop the engine.
FLUSHING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is recommended that the entire hydraulic system be
thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid whenever
new parts are installed in the hydraluic system.
Approximately one quart of fluid is required to flush
the hydraulic system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been
used which contains the slightest trace of mineral oil.
All rubber parts that have been subjected to a
contaminated fluid must be replaced.
BRAKE PIPES AND HOSES
The hydraulic brake system components are
interconnected by special steel piping and flexible
hoses. Flexible hoses are used between the frame and
the front calipers, the frame and rear axle case and the
rear axle and the rear calipers.
When the hydraulic pipes have been disconnected for
any reason, the brake system must be bled after
reconnecting the pipe; refer to “Bleeding Brake
Hydraulic System” in this section.
BRAKE HOSE INSPECTION
The brake hoses should be inspected at least twice a
year. The brake hose assembly should be checked for
road hazard, cracks and chafing of the outer cover,
and for leaks and blisters. Inspect for proper routing
and mounting of the hose. A brake hose that rubs on
suspension components will wear and eventually fail.
A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate
inspection. If any of the above conditions are
observed on the brake hose, adjust or replace the
hose as necessary.
CAUTION:
Never allow brake components such as calipers to
hang from the brake hoses, as damage to the hoses
may occur.

Engine Noisy
Abnormal engine noise often consists of various noises
originating in rotating parts, sliding parts and othermoving parts of the engine. It is, therefore, advisable to
locate the source of noise systematically.
