Changing Engine OilNLLC0125WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
+Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Stop engine.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.
Oil grade: API SH or ACEA grade A1-98, A3-98
Viscosity: See ªRECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTSº, MA-20.
Refill oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit:!(Imp pts)
Drain and refill
With oil filter change 3.7 (6-1/2)
Without oil filter change 3.5 (6-1/8)
Dry engine (engine overhaul) 3.9 (6-7/8)
CAUTION:
+Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
: 29 - 39 N´m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
+The refill oil capacity depends on oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications as a reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper
amount of oil is in the engine.

5. Start engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter oil
leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes, check oil level.

Precautions
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURENLLC01301. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from
mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil
from these areas.
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces.
(Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
+For oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 4.0 to 5.0 mm
(0.157 to 0.197 in).
+For areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 2.0
to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).
3. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes (unless
otherwise specified).
4. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
5. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and engine
coolant.

System CheckNLLC0133WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter turn
to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap
by turning it all the way.

CHECKING RADIATORNLLC0133S03Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as
follows.
+Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.
+When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all sur-
rounding parts such as cooling fan, rediator shroud and horns.
Then tape the harness and connectors to prevent water from
entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core ver-
tically download.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surfaces once per
minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radia-
tor.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically download.
+Use compressesd air lower than 490 kPa (5 kg/cm

and keep distance more than 30 cm (11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per
minute until no water sprays out.
