Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as 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. Remove oil ®ller cap and drain plug.
3. Drain oil and ®ll with new engine oil.
Oil grade: CCMC PD1 or PD2
Viscosity:
See ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS'', MA-9.

+The re®ll capacity changes depending on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time; use these valves as a reference and be
certain to check with the dipstick when changing the oil.

Limited-slip differential gear
+ Use only approved or recommended limited-slip differential
gear oil.
+ Limited-slip differential identi®cation.
(1) Lift both rear wheels off the ground.
(2) Turn one rear wheel by hand.
(3) If both rear wheels turn in the same direction simultaneously, vehicle is equipped with limited-slip differential.
Checking Front Wheel Bearing Grease
+Check that wheel bearings operate smoothly.
+ Check front wheel bearings for grease leakage and water or
dust entry.
+ Replace front wheel bearings or front wheel bearing grease if

FRONT WHEEL BEARING GREASE
Apply multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following parts:
+Threaded portion of spindle
+Contact surface between wheel bearing washer and outer
wheel bearing
