Oil Level Cheek
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.
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.
91
60G-09-003E
Refilling
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 for five minutes and check the oil level again.
Changing Engine Oil and Fitter
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 the correct spanner remove the
drain plug and drain out the engine oil.
60G-09-004
The engine oil temperature may be high
enough to burn your fingers when the
drain plug Is loosened. Watt until the
drain plug is cool enough to touch with
your bare hands.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

New and used oil can be hazardous.
Children and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep new
and used oil and used oil fitters away
from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine
oil has been found to cause (skin)
cancer in laboratory animals. Brief
contact with used oil may irritate skin.
To minimize your exposure to used oil,
wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moistureproof gloves (such 'as
dishwashing gloves) when changing
oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if wet with
oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used oil
and filters.
4) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket.
Tighten the plug to a torque of
5.0 kg-m (36.5 Ib-ft).
70F-07-010
Replace the oil filter
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil filter
counterclockwise and remove it.
2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mounting
surface on the engine where the new filter
will be seated.
3) Smear a little engine oil around the rubber
gasket of the new oil filter.
4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the
filter gasket contacts the mounting
surface.
60G-09-005
CAUTION
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket first
contacts the mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter 3/4 turn from the point of
contact with the mounting surface, [or to
1.4 kg-m (10.5 Ib-ft)] using an oil filter
wrench.

CAUTION
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that
the oil filter is tight, but do not
overtighten it.
Refill with oil and check for leaks.
1) Pour 3.1 litres of oil through the filler hole
and install the filler cap.
2) Start the engine and look carefully for
leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least 5
minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait for 5 minutes.
Check the oil level again and add oil if
necessary. Check for leaks again.
CAUTION
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genuine
MARUTI replacement filter.
60G-09-006
CAUTION
Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect
installation or gasket damage. If you
find any leaks or are not sure that the
fitter has been properly tightened, have
the vehicle inspected by your MARUTI
dealer.

Gear oil level check
To check the gear oil level, use the following
procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied.
2) Clean casing around oil filler plug to
remove risk of any loose dirt or debris
entering oil filler plug hole. Remove the oil
filler plug ©.
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your finger.
If the oil level comes up to the bottom of
the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so,
reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through
the filler plug hole © until the oil level
reaches the bottom of the filler hole, then
reinstall the plug.
After driving the vehicle, the
transmission oil temperature may be
high enough to burn you. Wait until the
oil filler plug is cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspecting
transmission oil.
CAUTION
When tightening the plug, apply sealing
compound to the plug threads to
prevent oil leakage.
Gear oil change
Since special procedures, materials and tools
are required, it is recommended that you trust
this job to your authorized MARUTI dealer.
60G-09-007
Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir tank,
not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the
coolant level should be between the "FULL"
and "LOW" marks.
Adding Coolant
If the Coolant level is below the "LOW" mark,
more coolant should be added. Remove the
reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the
reservoir tank level reaches the "FULL" mark.
Never fill the reservoir tank above the "FULL"
mark.
