Engine Oil and FilterSpecified Oil
52D083
(1) Preferred
Use engine oil with the American Petro-
leum Institute Certified For Gasoline
Engines “Starburst” symbol.
Select the appropriate oil viscosity accord-
ing to the above chart.
We highly recommend you use SAE 5W-
30 oil.
Oil Level CheckEngine oil dipstick
80G064
It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct level for proper lubrication of your
vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with
the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level
indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle
is on a slope. The oil level should be
checked either before starting the engine
or at least 5 minutes after stopping the
engine.
52D084
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored yellow for easy identification.
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, then remove it again. The
oil on the stick should be between the
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.
If the oil level indication is near the lower
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to
the upper limit.
CAUTION
Failure to use the recommended oil
can result in engine damage.C

Refilling
81A147
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil
slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil
level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be
careful not to overfill. Too much oil is
almost as bad as too little oil. After refilling,
start the engine and allow it to idle for
about a minute. Stop the engine, wait
about 5 minutes and check the oil level
again.
Changing Engine Oil and Filter
60G306
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still
warm.
1) Remove the oil filler cap.
2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.
3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug
and drain out the engine oil.4) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket.
Tighten the plug with a wrench to the
specified torque.
EXAMPLEOpen Close
WARNING
The engine oil temperature may be
high enough to burn your fingers
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait
until the drain plug is cool enough to
touch with your bare hands.EXAMPLE
WARNING
New and used oil and solvent can be
hazardous. Children and pets may be
harmed by swallowing new or used
oil or solvent. Repeated, prolonged
contact with used engine oil may
cause [skin] cancer. Brief contact
with used oil or solvent may irritate
skin.
Keep new and used oil and solvent
away from children and pets.
Wear a long-sleeve shirt and water-
proof gloves.
Wash with soap if oil or solvent
contacts your skin.

Changing OilSince special procedures, materials and
tools are required to change the automatic
transaxle oil, it is recommended that you
trust this job to your authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
Engine Coolant
54G101
60A208
Selection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use SUZUKI
Genuine Coolant or equivalent.
This type of coolant is best for your cooling
system as it:
Helps maintain proper engine tempera-
ture.
Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
Gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
SUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
CAUTION
After checking or adding oil, be sure
to insert the dipstick securely.

CAUTION
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base phosphate type coolant
diluted with distilled water at the
correct mixture concentration.
Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water and in
no case higher than 70/30. Concen-
trations greater than 70/30 coolant
to distilled water will cause over-
heating conditions.
Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water.
