INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Refill with oil and check for leaks.
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install
the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the "CAPACITIES" item in the
"SPECIFICATIONS" section.
2) Start the engine and look carefully for
leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least
5 minutes.

Check the oil level again and add oil if
necessary. Check for leaks again.
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genuine
MARUTI replacement filter.

the parking brake applied.
