GENERAL - Towing and Hoisting
Frame contact support location:
1,070 mm (42.0 in.): 1,130 mm (44.0 in.) OOFOO3'
Front OOFO046HOISTING
POST TYPESpecial care should be taken when raising the vehicle on a
\frame contact type hoist. The hoist must be equipped with theL)proper adapters in order to support the vehicle at the proper
locations.
Caution
When service procedures require removing rear suspen-sion, fuel tank, spare tire and liftgate, place additional
weight on rear end of vehicle or anchor vehicle to hoist toprevent tipping of center of gravity changes.
FLOOR JACKThe usual type of floor jack is used at the following locations.
Front: Under the mid point of No. 1 crossmember
NOTEOn vehicles with active-aero system, the front jacking point
can be accessed by removing the center cover panel from
the under cover. Be sure to reinstall the center cover panel
after jack-up operation.
Rear:
Under the jack up bracket of crossmember
Under the rear differential
Caution1. When lifting the No. 1 crossmember, do not allow jack
lifting plate to contact under cover.
2. In order to prevent scarring the crossmember, place a
piece of cloth on the jack’s contact surface (to prevent‘corrosion caused by damage to the coating).
d3. A floor jack must never be used on any part of the
underbody.
4.Do not attempt to raise one entire side of the vehicle by
placing a jack midway between front and rear wheels.This practice may result in permanent damage to the
body.

GENERAL - Lubrication and Maintenance00-31LUBRICATION AND MAINTE-
NANCEMOOPA- -
iiMaintenance and lubrication service recommenda-
tions have been compiled to provide maximum
protection for the vehicle owner’s investment
against all reasonable types of driving conditions.
Since these conditions vary with the individual
vehicle owner’s driving habits, the area in which the
vehicle is operated and the type of driving to which
the vehicle is subjected, it is necessary to prescribe
lubrication and maintenance service on a time
frequency as well as mileage interval basis.
Oils, lubricants and greases are classified and
graded according to standards recommended by the
Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAE), the Amer-
ican Petroleum Institute (API) and the National
Lubricating Grease Institute
(NLGI).MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
Information for service maintenance is provided
under “SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE”.
Three schedules are provided; one for “Required
Maintenance”, one for “General Maintenance” and
one for “Severe Usage Service”.
Item numbers in the “SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCE TABLE” correspond to the item numbers in
the “MAINTENANCE SERVICE” section.
LSEVERE SERVICE
Vehicles operating under severe service conditions
will require more frequent service.
Component service information is included in
appropriate units for vehicles operating under one or
more of the following conditions:
1. Police, taxi, or commercial type operation
2. Operation of Vehicle
(1) Short-trip operation at freezing temperature
(engine not thoroughly warmed up)
(2) More than 50% operation in heavy city
traffic during hot weather above 32°C
(90°F)(3) Extensive idling
(4) Driving in sandy areas
(5) Driving in salty areas
(6) Driving in dusty conditions
ENGINE OIL
The SAE grade number indicates the viscosity of
engine oils, for example, SAE 30, which is a single
grade oil. Engine oils are also identified by a dual
number, for example, SAE 1 OW-30, which indicates
a multigrade oil.
The API classification system defines oil perform-
ance in terms of engine usage. Only engine oil
idesigned “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGXD”,when available, should be used. These oils contain
sufficient chemical additives to provide maximumengine protection. Both the SAE grade and the API
designation can be found on the container.
Caution
Test results submitted to EPA have shown thatlaboratory animals develop skin cancer after
prolonged contact with used engine oil. Accor-dingly, the potential exists for humans to de-
velop a number of skin disorders, including
cancer, from such exposure to used engine oil.
Care should be taken, therefore, when changing
engine oil, to minimize the amount and length ofexposure time to used engine oil on your skin.
Protective clothing and gloves, that cannot be
penetrated by oil, should be worn. The skin
should be thoroughly washed with soap and
water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to removeany used engine oil. Do not use gasoline,
thinners, or solvents.GEAR
LUEiRlCANTSThe SAE grade number also indicates the viscosity
of Multi-Purpose Gear Lubricants.
The API classification system defines gear lubri-
cants in terms of usage. Typically gear lubricants
conforming to API GL-4 or GL-5 with a viscosity of
SAE
75W-85W are recommended for manual trans-
axle.
LUBRICANTS
- GREASES
Semi-solid lubricants, bear the
NLGI designation and
are further classified as grades 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.
Whenever “Chassis Lubricant” is specified,
Multi-Purpose Grease,
NLGI grade 2, should be used.
FUEL USAGE STATEMENT
Use premium unleaded gasoline having a minimum
octane rating of 91,
(R + M)/2. However, it is also
possible to use unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87.
Unleaded gasolines only must be used in vehicles
equipped with catalyst emission control systems.
All vehicles, so equipped, have labels located on the
instrument panel and on the back of fuel filler lid that
state, “UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY”. These vehi-
cles also have fuel filler tubes especially designed to
accept the smaller diameter unleaded gasoline
dispensing nozzles only.
MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents
should be avoided. Many of these materials in-
tended for gum and varnish removal may contain
highly active solvents or similar ingredients that can
be harmful to gasket and diaphragm materials used
in fuel system component parts.

** SAE 5W-30 may be used for operation in verycold weather areas where the lowest atmos-pheric temperature is below -23°C (-10°F).SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OILEngine oil should be used which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD”, and have the proper SAE grade number for the
expected temperature range.
Caution
Nondetergent or straight mineral oil must never be used.
Energy Conserving OilIn order to improve fuel economy and conserve energy new,
lower friction engine oils have been developed. These oils are
readily available and can be identified by such labels as “Energy
Conserving
II”,“Energy Saving”,
“Improved Fuel Economy”,
etc.
Oil Identification Symbol
A standard symbol appears on the top of oil containers and has
three district areas for identifying various aspects of the oil.
The top portion will indicate the quality of the oil. The center
portion will show the SAE viscosity grade, such as SAEIOW-30. “Energy Conserving
II” shown in the lower portion,
indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capabilities.
