0B-9 Maintenance and Lubrication:
Engine Oil Replacement
1) Place the vehicle on a level ground and set the brake
lock.
2) Remove the engine side cover. Refer to “Front Side
Exterior Parts Removal and Installation: in
Section 9D”
.
3) Place an oil pan below the engine, and drain engine
oil by removing the oil drain plug (1) and filler cap
(2).
4) Tighten the oil drain plug (1) to the specified torque.
CAUTION
!
Replace the gasket washer with a new one.
Tightening torque
Oil drain plug (a): 21 N·m (2.1 kgf-m, 15.0 lbf-ft)
5) Pour new oil through the oil filler. When performing
an oil change (without oil filter replacement), the
engine will hold about 2.3 L (2.4/2.0 US/lmp qt) of oil.
Use of SF/SG or SH/SJ in API with MA in JASO.
6) Start up the engine and allow it to run for several
minutes at idling speed after tightening the oil filler
cap.
7) Turn off the engine and wait about three minutes,
and then check the oil level on the dipstick (3). The
oil level should be between the low level line “A” and
full level line “B”. If the oil level is lower than the low
level line “A”, add oil to the full level line “B”.
Oil Level Inspection
1) Place the vehicle on a level ground and set the brake
lock.
2) Start up the engine and allow it to run for several
minutes at idling speed.
3) Turn off the engine and wait about three minutes,
then check the oil level on the dipstick (1). If the level
is below low level line “A”, add oil to full level line “B”.
If the level is above full level line “B”, drain oil to full
level line “B”.
NOTE
When inspecting the oil level, the oil filler cap
threads are not run in but touching the filler
hole upper edge.
