Engine

Drive belts

Inspect the belts for cracks and other damage. Replace if necessary.

Engine oil

When changing the engine oil, use API SL/SM/SN or ILSAC GF-III/GF-IV/GF-V oil of the proper viscosity for your climate.

 

Change it more frequently during heavy use under any of these conditions:

 

  1. Dusty environment

  2. Extended idling or low-speed operations

  3. Driving for a prolonged period in cold temperatures or in an extremely humid climate

  4. Repeated short-distance driving

Oil filter

Do not fail to change the oil filter as prescribed. As with the engine oil, under severe driving conditions, the filter should be changed more frequently.

Cooling system

When inspecting hoses (including the heater hose), connections, and clamps, look for leaks, swellings, cracks, and other damage. Replace any defective hose or part.

Engine coolant

Change the coolant and flush the cooling system as prescribed.
