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 “Recommended fuel / lubricants
and capacities (approx.)” in “SPECIFI-
CATIONS” 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.
NOTICE
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, check that the
oil filter is tight, but do not over-
tighten it.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genu-
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, check
that it is of equivalent quality and
follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
• 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 an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
