GENERAL Lubricants and Lubricant Capacities Table
Use of fuels containing alcohol is not recommended
unless the nature of the blend can be determined
as being satisfactory.
Gasohol
A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol)
and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used in your
car.
If problems are experienced as a result
of using gasohol, it is recommended that the car
be operated on gasoline.
Methanol Do not use gasolines containing
methanol (wood alcohol). Use of this type of alcohol
can result in vehicle performance deterioration and
damage critical parts in the fuel system compo-
nents. Fuel system damage and performance prob-
lems, resulting from the use of gasolines containin g
methanol, may not be covered by the new car war-
ranty.
Gasolines containing
Ether)
Unleaded gasoline containing 15% or
may be used in car. Fuel containing MTBE
over 15% vol. may cause reduced engine perfor-
mance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.
MATERIALS
TO FUEL
Indiscriminate use of fuel system -cleaning’
should be avoided. Many of these materials in-
tended for gum and varnish removal
highly active solvents or similar ingredients that
can be harmful to gasket and diaphragm materials
used in fuel system component

AIR CLEANER ELEMENT (Replace)00100180058
The air cleaner element become dirty and loaded with
dust during use, and the filtering effect will be
reduced.
Replace it with a new one.
(1) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
(2) Take out the air cleaner element, install a new one.
(3) Be sure when clamping the air cleaner cover in place
that the cover is completed closed.
4.EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
(Check for leaks and clogging)
except evapo-
rative emission canister
1.If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or damaged, a fuel
vapor mixture escapes into the atmosphere causing
excessive emissions. Disconnect the line at both en ds,
and blow it clean with compressed air. Remove the f uel
tank filler tube cap from the fuel tank filler tube and check
to see if there is evidence that the packing makes improper
contact to the fuel tank filler tube.
2.The fuel tank pressure control valve installed on the vapor
line should be checked for correct operation.
