MAINTENANCE
GENERAL NOTES:
wThere are 2 separate maintenance schedules,
namely A and B, which apply to different driving
conditions. Find out how the vehicle is driven,
select the appropriate schedule and service the
vehicle accordingly.
w Every service item in the periodic maintenance list
must be performed.
w Next to the columns of periods in the schedule,
reference pages have been added for easy access
to service data and procedures necessary for each
operation.
w The service interval for scheduled maintenance is
determined by the odometer reading or time
interval, whichever comes first, shown in the
schedule.
w Maintenance services after the last period should
be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
w Skipping even 1 item in the list can cause the
engine to run poorly and increase exhaust
emissions.

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
MA035±04
ENGINE
Cold Engine Operations
1. REPLACE TIMING BELT
(a) Remove the timing belt.(See page EG±46)
(b) Install the timing belt. (See page EG±59)
2. INSPECT DRIVE BELT HINT: A belt tensioner is used, so checking the belt tension
is not necessary.
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed cords,
etc.
If necessary, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered
acceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the
ribs, it should be replaced.
w The drive belt tension can be released by turning the
belt tensioner counterclockwise. The pulley bolt for the
belt tensioner has a left±hand thread.
(b) Check the belt tensioner operation. wCheck that the belt tensioner moves downward when
the drive belt is pressed down at the points indicated in
the illustration with approx. 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) of
force.
w Check the ali gnment of the belt tensioner pulley to make
sure the drive belt will not slip off the pulley.
If necessary, replace the belt tensioner.
w Check that the arrow mark on the belt tensioner falls
within area A of the scale.
If it is outside area A, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w When a new belt is installed, it should lie within area B.
If not, the drive belt is not correct.

wAfter installing a drive belt, check that it fits properly in
the ribbed grooves.
w Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped
out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
3. INSPECT AIR FILTER
(a) Open the air cleaner cap.
(b) Remove the air filter.
(c) Visually check that the air filter is not excessively damaged or oily.
If necessary, replace the air filter.
(d) Clean the air filter with compressed air. First blow from the inside thoroughly, then blow off from the
outside of the air filter.
(e) Reinstall the air filter and air cleaner cap.
4. REPLACE AIR FILTER Replace the air filter with a new one.

5. REPLACE SPARK PLUGS(See Ignition System, steps 1 to 8 on pages IG±16 to 18)
(a) Remove the No.3 timing belt covers.
(b) Disconnect the high±tension cords at the rubber boot. Do not
pull on the high±tension cords.
NOTICE: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage
the conductor inside.
(c) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the 8 spark plugs.
(d) Check the electrode gap of new spark plugs.
Correct electrode gap: 1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
Recommended spark plug: PK20R11 for ND
BKR6EP11 for NGK
NOTICE: If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend
only the base of the ground electrode. Do not touch the
tip.
(e) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, reinstall the 8 spark plugs.
Torque: 18 N Vm (180 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)
(f) Reconnect the high±tension cords.
(g) Reinstall the No.3 timing belt covers.

6. REPLACE ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER(See Lubrication System on page EG±497)
Oil grade:
API grade SG or SH, Energy±Conserving II or ILSAC
multigrade engine oil. Recommended viscosity is as
shown in the illustration, with SAE 5W±30 being the
preferred engine oil.
Drain and refill capacity:
w/ Oil filter change
4.8 liters (5.1 US qts, 4.2 lmp. qts)
w/o Oil filter change
4.5 liters (4.8 US qts, 4.0 lmp. qts)
7. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (See Cooling System on page EG±425)
Coolant capacity (w/ Heater):
10.8 liters (11.4 US qts, 9.5 lmp. qts)
HINT:
wUse a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant and
mix it according to the manufacturer's directions.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50 %
ethylene±glycol (but not more than 70 %) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use a alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
8. INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER
(a) Remove the charcoal canister.
(See Emission Control System on page EG±221)
(b) Visually inspect the canister case.
(c) Check for crogged each port and stuck check valve. wUsing low compressed air (4.71 kPa (48 gf/cm
2, 0.68
psi)), blow into port A and check that air flows without
resistance from the other ports.
w Blow low compressed air (4.71 kPa (48 gf/cm
2, 0.68
psi)) into port B and check that air does not flow from the
other ports.
If operation is not as specified, replace the charcoal canister.
