CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF
ENGINE COOLANT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR TANK
The coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº
lines at low temperature.
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should be no excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and the coolant
should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove it while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Drain the coolant from the radiator drain cock andengine drain plug.
(c) Close the drain cock and plug.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
29 NVm (300 kgf Vcm, 22 ft Vlbf)
(d) Fill the system with coolant.
w Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant,
mixed according to the manufacturer's direction.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50 %
ethylene±glycol (but not more than 70%) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
Coolant capacity (w/ Heater): M/T 8.5 liters (9.0 US qts, 7.5 Imp. qts)
A/T 8.4 liters (8.9 US qts, 7.4 Imp. qts)
(e) Install the radiator cap.
(f) Start the engine and check for leaks.
(g) Recheck the coolant level and refill as necessary.

CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF
ENGINE COOLANT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVE TANKThe coolant level should be above the ºCOLD LEVELº at nor-
mal temperature (20 5C (68 5F)).
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ºCOLD LEV-
ELº.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or reservoir tank filler hole, and the
coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace
the coolant.
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (a) Remove the radiator cap from the reservoir tank.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove the cap while the engine and radiator are still hot,
as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Remove the filler plug from the water inlet housing.
(c) Loosen the three drain plugs on the radiator and
cylinder block, drain the coolant from the radiator and
engine.
(d) Clean the coolant passages.
(e) Close the three drain plugs.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
