ENGINE OIL (FOR USA)

SUZUKI recommends the use of SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4
MOTOR OIL or oils that meet API service classifications SF or
SG and that have a viscosity rating of SAE 10W-40. If engine oil
with a rating of SAE 10W-40 is not available, select an alter-
native according to the chart.

ENGINE OIL (FOR THE OTHER COUNTRIES)

Use a premium quality 4-stroke motor oil to ensure longer ser-
vice life of the vehicles. Use only oils that meet API service clas-
sifications SF or SG and that have a viscosity rating of SAE
10W-40. If engine oil with a rating of SAE 10W-40 is not avail-
able, select an alternative according to the chart.

REAR DRIVE GEAR OIL

Use hypoid gear oil that meets the API service classification GL-5 and is rated SAE #90. Use a hypoid gear
oil with a rating of SAE #80 if the vehicle is operated where the ambient temperature is below 0 C (32 F).

BRAKE FLUID

# Specification and classification: DOT 4
!
This vehicle uses a glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different types of brake fluid
such as silicone-based and petroleum-based fluids for refilling the system, otherwise serious
damage will result to the brake system.
Never use any brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers.
Never reuse brake fluid left over from the last servicing or which has been stored for a long
period of time.

BREAK-lN PROCEDURES

During manufacturing only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard. It is still necessary to allow the moving parts to BREAK-lN before subjecting the engine to
maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. Refer to the following break-in engine speed recommendations:
Keep to these break-in engine speed limits.
Break-in engine speeds
Initial 10 hours: Less than ‰ throttle
After the engine has been operated for 10 hours the engine to full throttle operation, for short periods of
time.
