• When most trips are le ss than 6 km (4 miles).
• When most trips are less than 16 km (10 miles) and outside temperature remains below freezing.
• Idling and/or low-speed operat ion in stop-and-go traffic.
• Operating in extremely cold we ather and/or on salted roads.
• Operating in rough and/or muddy areas.
• Operating in dusty areas.
• Repeated high speed drive or high engine revolutions.

Drive beltCheck that the drive belt tension is correct.
If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery
charging, engine overheating, poor power
steering, poor air conditioning, or exces-
sive belt wear can result. When you press
the belt with your thumb midway between
the pulleys, there should be a deflection
according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to
ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt
have it done by your SUZUKI dealer.K12C engine models
The drive belts tension is adjusted auto-
matically.

NOTE:
(For EU countries)
The replacement timing varies with the
type of engine oil that you choose.
Refer to “Maintenance schedule” in this
section for corresponding maintenance
schedule.
SAE 0W-16 (1) is the best choice for good
fuel economy and good starting in cold
weather.
NOTE:
We recommend that you use SUZUKI gen-
uine oil. To purchase it, see your SUZUKI
dealer. K12M engine models

7-25INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
75RM4-01E
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.
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored with yellow for ea sy identification.
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, and 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.
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 the oil. Too much oil is almost
as bad as too little oil. A fter refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a min-
ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes
and check the oil level again.
Changing engine oil and filterDrain 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 the engine oil.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
EXAMPLEOpen Close
CAUTION
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

Tightening torque for drain plug:
35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gas-
ket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to
the specif ied torque.
NOTE:
(For models with oil change request light)
• Whenever the engine oil is changed, the oil life monitoring must be reset to moni-
tor the next oil change timing properly.
To reset the light, consult your SUZUKI
dealer. If you reset it by yourself, refer to
“Setting mode” in “Inf ormation display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• For more information of the oil change request light and oil life monitoring, refer
to “Oil change request light” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
Oil filter replacement1) Using an oil filter wr ench, turn the oil fil-
ter counterclockwise and remove it.
2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount- ing surface on the engine where the
new filter will be seated.
3) Smear a small amount of engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil
filter.
4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil- ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-
face.

Engine oil can be hazardous. Chil-
dren and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep
new and used oil and used oil filters
away from children and pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin can-
cer.
Brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin. (Continued)EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
To minimize your exposure to used
oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moisture-proof gloves (such as dish-
washing gloves) when changing oil. If
oil contacts your skin, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if it is
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used
oil and oil filters.
