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

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

you find any leaks or are not sure
that the filter has been properly
tightened, have the vehicle
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
