oil viscosity SUZUKI GRAND VITARA 1987 Service Repair Manual

NOTE:
Steps 1) - 6) outlined above must be performed
with ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 7),
be sure to have adequate ventilation while
engine is running
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE or
SF class.
NOTE:For temperatures below
32”F(O”C), it is highly
recommended to use SAE 5W-30 oil.

8) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
5. COOLING SYSTEM HOSES AND
CONNECTIONS INSPECTION
1) Visually inspect cooling system hoses for any
evidence of leakage and cracks. Examine them
for damage, and check connection clamps
for tightness.
2) Replace all hoses which show evidence of
leakage, cracks or other damage. Replace all
clamps which cannot maintain proper tight-
ness.
6. ENGINE COOLANT CHANGE
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do
not remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under pressure if
the cap is taken off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug @
to drain
coolant.
3) Remove reservoir tank 0, which is on the
side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug
@ securely. Also reinstall reser-
voir tank.

3) Check propeller shaft (No. 1, No. 2, No. 3)
flange yoke bolts for tightness, and retighten
them as necessary:

42. TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER,
DIFFERENTIAL OIL INSPECTION
AND CHANGE
[I nspectionl
1) Inspect transmission case, transfer case and
differential housing for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that the car is placed level for oil
level check.
3) Remove each level plug of transmission,
transfer and differential (front and rear).
In any of these cases, oil level can be checked
roughly by means of level plug hole. That is,
,if oil flows out of level plug hole or if oil
level is found up to hole when level plug is
removed, oil is properly filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified
amount of specified oil as given in the below
table.
[Change]
Oil change procedure is as follows.
Place the car level and drain oil by removing
drain plug. Pour specified amount of specified
oil as in the below table and tighten drain plug
and filler plug to specified torque.
It is highly recommended to use SAE 75W-90
gear oil.

NOTE:
Whenever car was hoisted for any other service
work than oil change, also be sure to check for
oil leakage.

nuts to specified torque and talk the nuts.
8) Upon completion of entire assembly work,
install transfer in chassis body in reverse
sequence of removal. Pour gear oil into
transfer gear box.
Refer to information given in next oil and
oil capacity for oil to be used and specified
amount.
NOTE:
When installing oil filler and drain plugs to
transfer case, apply sealant (SUZUKI BOND
No.1215, 99000-31110) to thread part of plug.

Oil Level
Oil level must be checked with car held in
horizontal position in both front to rear and side
to side directions.
Oil level plug and oil filler plug are one and the
same as shown in figure.
If oil flows out of filler plug hole or if oil level is
found up to hole when plug is removed, amount
of oil is appropriate. Replenish oil if noted as
insufficient.
Oil and Oil Capacity
Whenever car is lifted up for any service includ-
ing oil change,make sure to check around
transfer gear box for oil leakage. Correct defects,
if any, and change or refill oil.
