Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
Check engine oil level before each operation. In
addition, change the oil and the oil filter cartridge at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the console. (See pages 8-21–8-23
for console removal and installation proce-
dures.)
3. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine. If
the engine was started before checking the
oil level, be sure to warm up the engine suffi-
ciently, and then wait at least ten minutes un-
til the oil settles for an accurate reading.
4. Remove the dipstick, and then wipe it off with
a clean rag.

5. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole, and then remove it again to check the
oil level. The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum level marks.
6. If the engine oil is at or below the minimum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.
7. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole.
8. Reinstall the console.

NOTICE
In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do
not mix any chemical additives with oil. Do
not use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than speci-
fied. In addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
13. Start the engine, and then let it idle for sever-
al minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
14. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes,
and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
15. Reinstall the console.

Final gear oil
Checking the final gear oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the oil filler bolt, and then check the
oil level in the final gear case. The oil level
should be at the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole,
add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level. NOTICE: Be sure
no foreign material enters the final gear
case.
4. Reinstall the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Final gear oil filler bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)
