Engine Oil and Filter: 1, 2

Gear Oil: 10

CAUTION
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
Important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter specified turn from the
point of contact with the mounting sur-
face (or to the specified torque) using
an oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter
3/4 turn or
14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
CAUTION
To prevent oil leakage, make sure
that the oil filter is tight, but do not
over-tighten it.
Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and
install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the "CAPACITIES" item in the
"SPECIFICATIONS" section.
2) Start the engine and look carefully for
leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at
least 5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min-
utes. Check the oil level again and add
oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
CAUTION
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genu-
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, make
sure it is of equivalent quality and
follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
• Oil leaks from around the oil filter
or drain plug indicate incorrect
installation or gasket damage. If
you find any leaks or are not sure
that the filter has been properly
tightened, have the vehicle
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
