OWNER MAINTENANCE
6-5
See the lubrication chart on the page 9-3.
NOTE:
o The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is not
recommended for sustained high speed
use.
o When replacing or adding the oil, below
SAE 10W-30 is recommended.
Using a high viscosity oil of SAE 15W-40
and over makes malfunction of CVVT en-
gine when the engine is cool.

ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower
mark of the dipstick, oil should be added until the
level is at or below the upper mark.
To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap by
rotating in an counterclockwise direction and
pour engine oil into the engine. Before checking
the level again, allow several minutes for the oil
to drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler cap
rotating it in a clockwise direction until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the level from the
minimum to maximum level is approximately 1 litre.
SG030C1-E
Engine Oil Level
The engine oil level should be checked with the
engine at normal operating temperature and the
vehicle parked upon level ground.
Prior to checking the level, the vehicle should be
allowed to stand for several minutes after the
engine has been switched off to allow the oil to
drain back to the sump.
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.
Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw again
when the oil level may be read from the stick.
Normal oil level is indicated when the oil is
present between the two marks on the stick. It is
not necessary to add oil if the level is above the
lower mark and in any case, oil must not be
added to the degree that the level exceeds the
upper mark. Replace the dipstick fully after check-
ing the level.
