3. AIR CLEANER ELEMENT (Replace)
MOOSAKHThe air cleaner element will become dirty and loaded with dust
during use, and the filtering effect will be substantially reduced.
Replace it with a new one.

(1) Disconnect the air-flow sensor connector.
(2) Remove the air intake hose from the air-flow sensor.
(3) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
(4) Remove the air cleaner cover and air-flow sensor.
CautionRemove the air cleaner cover with care not to give
shock to the air-flow sensor.
(5) Take out the air cleaner element.

(1) Remove the clutch booster vacuum pipe mounting bolt.
(2) Disconnect the air-flow sensor connector.
(3) Remove air intake hose A from the air-flow sensor.
(4) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
(5) Remove the air cleaner cover and air-flow sensor.
CautionRemove the air cleaner cover with care not to give
shock to the air-flow sensor.
(6) Take out the air cleaner element.
4. SPARK PLUGS (Replace)
MOOSAOIThe spark plugs must fire properly to assure proper engine
performance and emission-control.
Therefore, they should be replaced periodically with new ones.
Spark plug
NGKPFRGJ-1 1
NIPPON DENS0
PK20PR-PI 1Spark plug gap: 1.0
- 1.1 mm LO39 - -043 in.)
NOTEFor the platinum plug, use care not to damage the platinum tip.
Specified torque: 25 Nm (15
ft.lbs.15. TIMING BELT (Replace)
MOOSBADReplace the belt with a new one periodically to assure proper
engine performance.
For removal and installation procedures, refer to GROUP 11
-Timing Belt.

:Vehicles with air conditioner>OOFOO07
A: Crankshaft pulleyB: Tension pulleyC: Alternator pulleyD: Idler pulleyE: ,Air conditioner compressor pulley
OlLO183
OlLO18:(Inspect tension)
MOOS88(1(1) Measure the deflection with a force of
100 N (22 Ibs.)applied to belt mid-point between pulleys shown in the
illustration. If the standard value is not obtained, make
adjustment.
Standard value: 4.0
- 5.5 mm (.157 - 216 in.)
(2) On vehicles without air conditioner, set a tension gauge at a
position marked with
r3 in the illustration to measure the
belt tension.
7. ENGINE OIL
(Inspect oil level)
(I) Check to see that the engine oil level is within the range
indicated on the oil level gauge.
(2) Make sure that engine oil is not very dirty or is free from
coolant or gasoline and has an appropriate viscosity grade.J
(Change)
MOOSAAHAlways use lubricants which conform to the requirements of
the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD”when available, and have the proper SAE grade number for the
expected temperature range.
Never use nondetergent or straight mineral oil.
(1) After warming up the engine, remove the oil ‘filler cap.
(2) Remove the drain plug and drain the engine oil.
(3) Tighten the drain plug to 40 Nm (29 ft.lbs.).
(4) Pour new engine oil through the oil filler.
Caution
1.Cover the alternator with waste cloth or the like before
pouring engine oil to make sure that even if oil is spilt,it may not drop on the alternator.
2. Use an oil mug or a funnel to pour oil.
Engine oil total capacity:4.0 liters (4.2 qts.)
[excluding oil filter 0.3 liter (l/2 qt.)
and oil cooler 0.21 liter (l/2 qt.)](5) Check to ensure that the engine oil level is within the level
range indicated on the oil dip stick.
