Fill engine oil through the filler pipe up to center between upper level and lower level. Make sure that the vehicle is placed level when checking oil level. Use engine oil of proper quality and viscosity, selected in accordance with the table in figure.

Recommended oil:

API classification

SL with the words “Energy Conserving or Energy conserving II” or New API mark displayed on the container (If it is impossible to get SL grade, you may use SJ grade.)

ILSAC classification

GF-3

Engine oil capacity:

Upper level

Approx. 4.0 litres (4.2 US qt, 3.5 Imp qt)

Lower level

Approx. 3.0 litres (3.2 US qt, 2.6 Imp qt)

The proper viscosity helps vehicle get good cold and hot starting by reducing viscous friction and thus increasing cranking speed.

Note
• When replenishing oil, it does not matter if the oil to be added is a different brand from that in the engine; however, use oil having the designated API classification and SAE viscosity No.

• If vehicle is used in desert areas with very high temperatures or for other heavy duty applications, the following viscosity oils may be used:

API classification: SL or SJ.

ILSAC classification: GF-3.

SAE Viscosity No.: 30, 40, 10W-50, 20W-40, 20W-50


Close the engine oil filler cap.

Start the engine and warm it up for a time.

After the engine stops, recheck the oil level.
