Refill with Oil and Oil Leakage
Check
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and
install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to “Capacities” in “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
2) Start the engine and carefully check the
oil filter and the drain plug for leakage.
Run the engine at various speeds for at
least 5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min-
utes. Check the oil level again and add
oil if necessary. Check for leakage
again.
Engine Coolant
Selection of Coolant
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use MARUTI
SUZUKI genuine coolant or equivalent.
This type of coolant is the best for cooling
system for the following reasons:
• The coolant helps maintain proper
engine temperature.
• It gives proper protection against freez-
ing and boiling.
• It gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system, Maruti Suzuki
authorised workshop can help you select
the proper coolant.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a
MARUTI SUZUKI genuine replace-
ment filter. If you use an aftermar-
ket filter, make sure it is of
equivalent quality and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Oil leakage from the periphery of
the oil filter or drain plug indicate
incorrect installation or gasket
damage. If you find any leakage or
are not sure that the filter has been
properly tightened, have the vehi-
cle inspected by a Maruti Suzuki
authorised workshop.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Check that the proper mix is 30/70
and in no case higher than 70/30.
Concentrations greater than 70/30
coolant to distilled water will cause
overheating conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water.
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. They may not be compatible
with your cooling system.
• Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in
accelerated seal wear and/or the
possibility of severe overheating
and extensive engine damage.
