Tightening torque:

44 Nm (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft-lb)

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

Recommended oil:

API classification SL with the “Energy Conserving” logo is printed (if you cannot obtain the oil with SL grade, you may use SJ grade “ENERGY CONSERVING” oil.)

ILSAC specification, GF3 or new API certification mark (Star burst mark) label is on the container.

Engine oil capacity:

Upper level

4.0 litres (4.2 US qt, 3.5 Imp qt)

Lower level

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.

Important

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.


Note

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

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. If necessary, add engine oil up to the upper level on level gauge.
