Precautions in Servicing 4WD ModelS6RW0D0000014
CAUTION!
• Never perform any of the following [A], [B]
and [C] types of service work.
If it is performed while 4WD-auto mode or
4WD-lock mode is selected, front wheels
(or rear wheels) drive rear wheels (or front
wheels) and vehicle accident, drivetrain
damage and personal injury may result.
Also, if it is performed while 2WD mode is
selected, the coupling may be damaged
because of the difference in revolution
speed between front wheels and rear
wheels.
• When testing with 2-wheel chassis
dynamometer or speedometer tester, be
sure to select 4WD system to 4WD-auto
mode or 4WD-lock mode and use 2-wheel
free roller together or make the vehicle as
front wheel drive by removing propeller
shaft.• When testing with 2-wheel brake tester, be
sure to observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, drivetrain damage and personal
injury may result.
– Shift transaxle to N (Neutral) position.
– Select 4WD system to 2WD mode.
– Run engine at specified idle speed.
– Rotate wheels (tires) by brake tester at
vehicle speed below 5 km/h (3 mile/h).
– Do not rotate wheels (tires) for 1 min. or
more.
• When using On-vehicle type wheel
balancing equipment (1), be sure to select
4WD system to 4WD-auto mode or 4WD-
lock mode and jack up all four wheels, off
the ground completely and support vehicle
with safety stands (2).
Be careful of other wheels, which will
rotate at the same time.
Using it with 2WD mode may damage
coupling.
• This vehicle should be towed under one of
the following conditions:
– With all wheels on a flatbed truck.
– With all wheels on the ground.

Precautions for Catalytic ConverterS6RW0D0000004
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use
only unleaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large
amount of unburned gasoline enter the converter or it
can be damaged.
• Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary,
make it as short as possible, and do not open the
throttle.
• Conduct engine compression checks within the
shortest possible time.
• Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire
(e.g. starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.)[A]: Testing with 2-wheel chassis dynamometer or speedometer tester.
[B]: Driving front wheels, which are jacked up.
[C]: Towing under the condition where either front or rear wheels can not
rotate.

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
WARNING!
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust system when it is still hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be
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
Replace spark plugs with new ones referring to “Spark
Plug Removal and Installation in Section 1H”.
