’ ~ “.SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OIL
Engine 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 Oil
In 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 “EnergyConserving”,“Energy Saving”,“Improved Fuel Economy”,
etc.
/”SAE
5W-20 Not recommended for sustained
high speed vehicle operation.**SAE
5W-30 may be used for operation in very
cold weather areas where the lowest atmos-
pheric temperature is below
-23°C (-10°F).

A standard symbol appears on the top of oil containers and hasthree 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 SAE
IOW-30. “Energy Conserving” shown in the lower portion,
indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capabilities.

COOLANTRelation between Antifreeze Concentration and Specific Gravity
concentration
ExampleThe safe operating temperature is
- 15°C (5°F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at the coolant
temperature of
20°C (68°F).
Cautions1. If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely
affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling
properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain theconcentration level within the specified range.
2. Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE - Maintenance Service
L-4GoodOOA0051C9FW1014K512(9) Supply 4 liters (8.5 pints) of specified ATF into case
through dipstick hole. [Total quantity of ATF required is
6.1 liters (12.9 pints).
Actually however, approx. 4.5 liters (9.5 pints) of fluid
can be replaced because rest of fluid remains in torque
converter.]Specified fluid: MOPAR ATF PLUS (Automatic
Transmission Fluid Type 7176) or
Dia ATF SP or Equivalent
(10)Start engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes.
Then, with parking brake on, move selector lever
momentarily to each position, ending in “N” Neutral
position.
(1 l)Add sufficient ATF to bring fluid level to lower mark.
Recheck fluid level after transaxle is at normal operating
temperature.
Fluid level should be between upper and lower marks of“HOT” range. Insert dipstick fully to prevent dirt from
entering transaxle.
11 .ENGINE COOLANT (Change)NOOSBEAcCheck the cooling system parts, such as radiator, heater,
and oil cooler hoses, thermostat and connections for
leakage and damage.
CHANGE COOLANT
1. Remove the radiator cap.
2. Loosen the drain plug to drain the coolant.
3. Drain the coolant from the reserve tank.
4. After draining the coolant, tighten the drain plug
securely.
5.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck.
6. Supply the coolant into the reserve tank.
7. After warming the engine until the thermostat opens,
remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level.
8.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck, and install the
.radiator, cap securely.
9.Fill the reserve tank with coolant up to the “FULL” line.12DISC BRAKE PADS (Inspect for wear)
NOOSBFA~Check for fluid contamination and wear. Replace complete
set of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be
replaced at the same time. Never “split” or intermix
brake pad sets.
All four pads must be replace as a complete set.
