6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on
dipstick. (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The filler inlet is at
the top of the cylinder head cover.
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ
grade.
NOTE:
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the proper
engine oil viscosity chart [A].
Engine oil specification :
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait 5 min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring
oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.

Quickly Checking of Refrigerant Charge (If
Equipped with Sight Glass)
The following procedure can be used for quickly checking whether
the A/C system has a proper charge of refrigerant or not.
1) Run engine at fast idle.
2) Operate A/C at the following conditions for a few minutes.
Main (front) A/C switch at ON position.
Rear A/C main switch at ON position (if equipped).
Front blower motor switch at max position.
Rear blower motor switch at max position (if equipped).
Air outlet control button at face position.
Temperature control lever at max cool position.

Performance Diagnosis
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15 - 35 °C (59 - 95 °F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5) on vehicle, and connect low pressure
charging hose (6) to low pressure service valve (7) on vehi-
cle.
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3), (4) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge, utilizing the refrigerant
pressure. When a hiss is heard, immediately tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 - 90 °C (176 - 194 °F)) and keep it
at specified idle speed.
6) Operate A/C at the following conditions.
Main (front) A/C switch at ON position.
Rear A/C main switch at ON position (if equipped).
Front blower motor switch at max position.
Rear blower motor switch at max position (if equipped).
Air outlet control button at face position.
Temperature control lever at max cool position.
Vehicle door at all open.
Air inlet door at recirculation position.
7) Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.
8) With about 20 mm (0.8 in.) of dry bulb thermometer (1)
inserted into center face air outlet (2), rear A/C air outlet (3)
(dual A/C model only) and near A/C evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging

1B-22 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
Checking system for pressure leaks
After completing the evacuation, close manifold gauge high pres-
sure valve (HI) and low-pressure valve (LO) and wait 10 minutes.
Verify that low-pressure gauge reading has not changed.
Charging
CAUTION:
If the gauge reading moves closer to “0”, there is a leak
somewhere. Inspect the tubing connections, make nec-
essary corrections, and evacuate system once again,
making sure that there are no leaks.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS CHARGE THROUGH LOW PRESSURE-SIDE of A/C system at after the initial charging is
performed from the high-pressure side with the engine stopped.
NEVER CHARGE TO HIGH PRESSURE-SIDE of A/C system with engine running.
Do not charge while compressor is hot.
When installing tap valve to refrigerant container to make a hole there through, carefully follow
directions given by manufacturer.
A pressure gauge should always be used before and during charging.
The refrigerant container should be emptied of refrigerant when discarding it.
The refrigerant container should not be heated up to 40 °C (104 °F) or over.
Refrigerant container should not be reversed in direction during charging. Reversing in direction
causes liquid refrigerant to enter compressor, causing troubles, such as compression of liquid
refrigerant and the like.
NOTE:
The air conditioning system contains HFC-134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air conditioning system with refrigerant from the refrigerant
service container.
When charging refrigerant recovered by using the refrigerant and recycling equipment (when recy-
cling refrigerant), follow the procedure described in the equipment manufacturer’s instruction manual.

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-23
The initial charging of the A/C system is performed from the high-
pressure side with the engine stopped.
And next, this method must be followed by charging from the low-
pressure side with the engine running.
1) Check to make sure that hoses are routed properly after
evacuating the system.
2) Connect Low-side hose (1) and High side hose (2) of the
manifold gauge set (3) in position. Thus open refrigerant
container valve (4) to purge the charging line.
3) Open the high-pressure side valve (6) and charge refrigerant
to system.
4) After a while, open the low-pressure side valve (5) and close
the high-pressure side valve (6).
5) Start engine and keep engine speed at 1500 rpm. Then,
operate air conditioning.
6) Charge A/C system with refrigerant in vapor state. At this
time, refrigerant container should be held upright.
7) When refrigerant container (3) is emptied, the use following
procedure to replace it with a new refrigerant container (3).
a) Close low pressure valve.
b) Replace empty container (3) with a refrigerant container
which has been charged with refrigerant. When using
refrigerant container tap valve (4), use following procedure
for replacement.
i) Retract needle (1) and remove refrigerant container tap
valve (4) by loosening its plate nut (2).
ii) Install previously-removed refrigerant container tap valve
(4) to a new refrigerant container (3). WARNING:
Make sure that high pressure-side valve is closed
securely.
NOTE:
Dual A/C model must be operated rear A/C system, too.

On-Vehicle Service
Precaution
When servicing air conditioning system, the following rules must be observed.
Piping
When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to seats of coupling
nuts and O-ring. WARNING:
Should refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) strike your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.
DO NOT USE YOUR HAND TO RUB AFFECTED EYE(S).
Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to splash it over affected area to thus gradually raise its
temperature above the freezing point.
Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
Should liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) get on your skin, such affected part should be treated
in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
CAUTION:
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C: one using CFC-12 (R-12) and the other using HFC-134a (R-134a).
(For identification between these two types, refer to “REFRIGERANT TYPE” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
Single A/C model is the same as SQ625 (H25 engine) model. Refer to the same section of the Service
Manual mentioned in FOREWORD of this manual.
