Intake and exhaust manifolds:
Intake
:25-28N×m (2.5 - 2.9 kg-m, 18 - 20 ft-lb)
Exhaust

Checking Drive Belt
IBecause an auto tensioner adjustment mechanism is
provided, it is not necessary to check or adjust the tension
of accessory belt.
1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. Replace if
necessary.
The belts should not touch the bottom of the pulley groove.
2. Check the damper unit of the auto tensioner for oil leaks.

Removal
WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND AIR CONDITIONER
BELT
1. Remove radiator shroud.
2. Contract and hold the auto tensioner using the following proce-
dure.
a. Securely hold the 19 mm (0.75 in) hexagonal portion A of auto
tensioner with a closed wrench.
IPreferably use a tool with a handhold of 500 mm (19.69 in) or
more in length.
INo bolts or nuts are required to be loosened during the opera-
tion.
b. Turn the hexagonal portion A in the direction shown by the
arrow to contract the damper unit of the auto tensioner.
CAUTION:
IBecause the tensioner has a high tension, it shall be
securely held and turned with a closed wrench.
IBecause the hexagonal portion A of the tensioner is made
of aluminum and may be damaged by sudden input, turn
it slowly according to the contraction of the damper unit.
3. Remove the belt from the alternator pulley first, and then
remove it from the other pulleys.
IIf the tensioner is not held firmly, your finger may get caught
between the belt and the pulleys. Confirm the holding of the
tensioner, and then hold the belt side in the place away from
the pulleys to attach or remove the belt, paying attention to
prevent your finger from being caught.
CAUTION:
IWhen handling the belt, pay attention to prevent the oil or
coolant from adhering to the belt.
IDo not distort or bend the belt intensively.
Installation
IInstall the belt in the reverse order of removal.
IAfter installation of the belt, confirm that the belt engages the
pulleys securely.
IDepending on the engagement between the belt and the idler
pulley, noise (belt noise) may be heard when the engine is
started just after installation. This noise will stop with time.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
IProlonged 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 drain plug and oil filler cap.

3. Drain oil and fill with new engine oil.
Oil grade:
API CF4 or ACEA B3-96.98 or ACEA B3/E3-96.98
Viscosity:
See ªRECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTSº, MA-1009.
Refill oil capacity (approximate):
Without oil filter change
5.2(4-5/8 Imp qt)
With oil filter change
5.7(5 Imp qt)
CAUTION:
IBe sure to clean and install oil pan drain plug with washer.
Drain plug:
:54-58N×m (5.5 - 6.0 kg-m, 40 - 43 ft-lb)
IThe refill 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.
4. Check oil level.
5. Start engine. Check area around drain plug and oil filter for any
sign of oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After 10 minutes
check oil level.
Changing Engine Oil Filter
REMOVAL
1. Insert a suitable tool with a 12.7 mm square (1/2 inch square)
such as an extension bar and ratchet handle into the filter body,
and loosen the body by approximately 4 turns.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil
are hot.

2. Set theGmark of the filter body to the top position and dis-
charge the oil.
IReceive the oil discharged from the drain hose in a tray.
IAbout 500 cc (17.6 Imp fl oz) of oil will be discharged in about
3 minutes.
IThe oil is discharged from the oil catcher to under the vehicle
through the drain hose.
3. Remove the filter body, and then remove the oil filter element.
CAUTION:
IIf the engine oil gets on the engine or vehicle, thoroughly
wipe it off.
IThoroughly wipe off the oil remaining in the oil catcher.
(This is to prevent misidentifying oil leaking from the oil
catcher as oil leaking from the engine.)
4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
IPress the O-ring in any direction with your finger, and pull on
the portion of the O-ring separated from the filter body to
remove it.
CAUTION:
Because wire and screwdrivers may cause damage to the fil-
ter body, do not use such tools.
INSTALLATION
1. Thoroughly remove foreign matter adhering to the inside of fil-
ter body and O-ring mounting areas (of the body and oil cooler).
2. Install the oil filter element and O-ring to the filter body.
ISecurely press the oil filter element into the filter body.
3. Install the filter body.
:20-24N×m (2.0 - 2.5 kg-m, 15 - 18 ft-lb)
4. After warming up the engine, check that no engine oil leaks.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the cool-
ant when the engine is hot.
ÐDRAINING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
1. Move heater TEMP control knob all the way to HOT.
2. Remove undercover and disconnect lower radiator hose to
drain coolant.
3. Remove radiator filler cap.

For coolant mixture ratio, refer to MA-19.
9. Fill reservoir tank with coolant up to the MAX level.
Coolant capacity (With reservoir tank):
10.6(9-3/8 Imp qt)
Reservoir tank capacity (for MAX level):
0.75(5/8 Imp qt)
Pour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly to allow air in
system to escape.
10. Install radiator cap.
11. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
12. Run engine at 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
IRepeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
13. Stop engine and cool it down.
ICool down using a fan to reduce the time.
14. Remove the radiator cap and check coolant level.
IIf necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with coolant.
15. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
16. Repeat step 9 through step 15 two or more times.

running engine from idle up to 2,000 rpm with heater tempera-
ture control set at several positions between COOL and HOT.
ISound may be noticeable at heater water core.
18. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating
steps 11 through 17 until coolant level no longer drops.
IClean excess coolant from engine.
