7. If the oil level is below the specified limit,
remove the cap located on the cylinder head
cover and add enough oil to raise the level to
within the specified range. Do not overfill to
avoid engine damage. Be sure to use the
specified engine oil and do not mix various
types of oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4 to
6.
Use only the recommended oils with an ACEA or
API classification as specified in this manual.
NOTE
l
The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l
For information on how to dispose of used
engine oil, refer to page 05.
Selection of engine oil
l
Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric tem-
perature.
SAE 5W-30, 0W-30 and 0W-40 engine oil
can only be used if it meets ACEA A3/B3,
A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API SM or higher spec-
ifications.
l
SAE 0W-30 and 0W-40 engine oil are rec-
ommended to use to improve engine starta-
bility on a very cold weather condition.
When the ambient temperature is -25 °C or
lower, use of synthetic oil is recommended
to ensure startability.
l
Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
• API classification: “For service SM” or
higher
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification:
“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4 or
A5/B5”
NOTE
l
Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.
Engine coolant
E01000502124
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is located in
the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept be-
tween the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when meas-
ured while the engine is cold.
FULL
LOW
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and normal-
ly the loss of coolant should be very slight. A no-
ticeable drop in the coolant level could indicate
leakage. If this occurs, we recommend you to have
the it checked as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on
the reserve tank, open the lid and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, re-
move the radiator cap (B) and add coolant until the
level reaches the filler neck.
