Engine Oil and Filter ChangeS6RW0D0206004
WARNING!
• New and used engine oil can be
hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in “General
Precautions in Section 00” and observe
what is written there.
• Step 1) – 7) outlined below must be
performed with ENGINE NOT RUNNING.
For Step 8), be sure to have adequate
ventilation while engine is running.

Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage.
If any evidence of leakage is found, make sure to correct
defective part before proceeding to the following work.
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall
drain plug.
Tightening torque
Engine oil drain plug (a): 35 N·m (3.5 kgf-m, 25.5
lb-ft)
3) Loosen oil filter by using oil filter wrench (special
tool).
Special tool
(A): 09915–47331
NOTE
Before fitting new oil filter, be sure to oil its
O-ring. Use engine oil for this purpose.

4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until the
filter O-ring contacts mounting surface.
CAUTION!
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to
accurately identify the position at which filter
O-ring first contacts mounting surface.

5) Tighten the filter (1) 3/4 turn from the point of contact
with the mounting surface using an oil filter wrench
(2).
Tightening torque
Oil filter (b): 14 N·m (1.4 kgf-m, 10.5 lb-ft) for

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 SG, SH, SJ, SL or
SM grade. Select the appropriate oil viscosity
according to the proper engine oil viscosity chart [A].
NOTE
Engine oil capacity is specified as the
following.
However, note that the amount of oil required
when actually changing oil may somewhat
differ from the data depending on various
conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).

Engine oil specification
Oil pan capacity: About 3.7 liters (7.8 / 6.5 US /
lmp pt.)
Oil filter capacity: About 0.2 liter (0.4 / 0.3 US /
lmp pt.)
Others: About 0.3 liter (0.6 / 0.5 US / lmp pt.)
Total: About 4.2 liters (8.9 / 7.4 US / lmp pt.)
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait
another 5 minutes before checking oil level. Add oil,
as necessary, to bring oil level to FULL level mark (1)
on dipstick.
Engine Coolant ChangeS6RW0D0206005
Change engine coolant with new one referring to
“Cooling System Flush and Refill in Section 1F”.
Exhaust System InspectionS6RW0D0206006

performed when it is cool.

When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle
is raised for other service, check exhaust system as
follows:
• Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration,
and out of position.
• Check exhaust system for leakage, loose
connections, dents and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
• Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing or
mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose
connections or other defects which could permit
exhaust fumes to seep into the vehicle.
• Make sure that exhaust system components have
enough clearance from the underbody to avoid
overheating and possible damage to floor carpet.
• Any defects should be fixed at once.
Spark Plug ReplacementS6RW0D0206007
