leum Institute Certified For Gasoline

Oil Level CheckEngine oil dipstick
80G064
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.
52D084
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored yellow for easy identification.
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, 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.
CAUTION
Failure to use the recommended oil
can result in engine damage.C

When replacing gear oil, use the appropri-
ate viscosity and grade as shown in the
charts below.
We highly recommend you use:
API GL-4 SAE 75W-90 for manual tran-
saxle gear oil
API GL-5 hypoid gear oil SAE 80W-90 for
rear differential oil (i-AWD) and transfer oil
of automatic transaxle model (i-AWD)
CAUTION
Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect installa-
tion or gasket damage. If you find any
leaks or are not sure that the filter
has been properly tightened, have
the vehicle inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer.EXAMPLE
