EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
The services listed in the maintenance schedule are fur-
ther explained below. When the following maintenance
services are performed, make sure all the parts are re-
placed and all the necessary repairs are done before driv-
ing the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and lubricants.

air conditioning compressor, and the generator, inspect it
for cracks, fraying, wear, and proper tension. Adjust or re-
place the belt, as needed.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change

API Classifications of Engine Oil
The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) and American Petroleum Institute
classifies engine oils according to their performance quali-
ty. Always use oil rated API–SJ (ILSAC GF–II) or better.
Engine Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel econ-
omy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity engine
oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather per-
formance; however, higher temperature weather condi-
tions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lu-
brication. Using oils of any viscosity other than those
viscosities recommended could result in engine damage.
Cooling System Service
Drain, flush and refill the system with new coolant. Refer
to "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants"in this section.
