Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, D = Check filter and drain water
NOTE:

Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.

(1) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

(2) Never use CG-4 oil.

(3) Oil filter element assembly and O-ring seal are replacement parts.

(4) First replace at 100,000 Km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles)/36 months. After first
replacement, perform "I" (checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of
replacement interval.

(5) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, perform this maintenance item.
