Repair Instructions

Engine Accessory Drive Belt, Tensioner and
Idler Replacement

S5JB0B0206002

WARNING

Replacement must be performed with battery
negative cable disconnected to avoid a
personal injury.

Replace belt (1), tensioner (2) and idlers (3) with new
ones referring to “Accessory Drive Belt and Idler Pulley
Removal and Installation in Section 1J”.
Check crankshaft pulley (4) for wear and damage, and
replace it as necessary.

Camshaft Timing Belt and Tensioner
Replacement

S5JB0B0206042

Replace camshaft timing belt (1) and tensioner (2) with
new ones referring to “Timing Belt and Belt Tensioner
Removal and Installation in Section 1D”.

Engine Oil and Filter Change

S5JB0B0206004

WARNING

• New and used engine oil can be

hazardous.
Be sure to read “General Precautions in
Section 00” and observe what in written
there.

• Steps 1) – 7) must be performed with

ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For Step 8), be
sure to have adequate ventilation while
engine is running.

CAUTION

Do not top up oil over FULL level mark on
dipstick. Too much oil could destroy engine.

Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage.
If any evidence of leakage is found, make sure to correct
defective part before proceeding to the following work.

1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall

drain plug.

Tightening torque
Engine oil drain plug (a): 35 N·m (3.5 kgf-m, 25.5
lb-ft)

3) Loosen oil filter by using oil filter wrench (special

tool) accessing from between engine mounting and
radiator outlet hose and from below vehicle.

4) Apply engine oil to new oil filter gasket.

5) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until the

filter gasket contacts the mounting surface.

CAUTION

To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to
accurately identify the position at which filter
gasket first contacts the mounting surface.

6) Tighten oil filter (1) 3 / 4 turn from the point of contact

with the mounting surface using an oil filter wrench
(2).

7) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level

mark on dipstick (about 5.1 liters (9.0 lmp pt.)).

Engine oil specifications
: about 5.1 liters (9.0 lmp pt.)

The filler inlet is at the top of the cylinder head cover.
Use only engine oil of ACEA standard C3 grade.
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the
chart [A].
It is highly recommended to use SAE 5W-30 oil.

NOTE
Note that the amount of oil required when
actually changing oil may somewhat differ
from the data depending on various
conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)

Proper engine oil viscosity chart

8) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
9) Check oil level as follows.

a) Warm up engine to normal operating

temperature.

b) Stop engine and wait 10 min.
c) Remove dipstick and wipe oil off it with a clean

lint-free cloth.

d) Screw in dipstick (cap) fully.
e) Remove dipstick again and check oil level.

Add oil, as necessary, to bring oil level to FULL
level mark (1) on dipstick.

Engine Coolant Change

S5JB0B0206005

WARNING

To help avoid danger of being burned, do not
remove degassing tank cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam
can be blown out under pressure if cap is
taken off too soon.

Change engine coolant referring to “Cooling System
Refilling in Section 1F”.

Exhaust system Inspection

S5JB0B0206006

WARNING

To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust system when it is still hot. Any
service on exhaust system should be
performed when it is cool.

Check exhaust system for loose, damage, leakage, etc.
referring to “Exhaust System Check in Section 1K”.

Air Cleaner Filter Inspection

S5JB0B0206008

Check that filter is not excessively dirty, damaged or oily
and clean filter with compressed air from air outlet side
of filter.
Refer to “Air Cleaner Filter Inspection and Cleaning in
Section 1D”.

Air Cleaner Filter Replacement

S5JB0B0206009

Replace air cleaner filter with new one referring to “Air

Fuel Lines and Connections Inspection

S5JB0B0206010

Visually inspect fuel lines and connections for evidence
of fuel leakage, hose cracking and damage. Make sure
all clamps are secure.
Repair leaky joints, if any.
Replace hoses that are suspected of being cracked.

Fuel Filter Replacement

S5JB0B0206011

WARNING

This work must be performed in a well
ventilated area and away from any open
flames (such as gas hot water heaters).
