through the filler hole and install the
filler cap.
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 a few min-
utes. Check the oil level again and add
oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
A CAUTION
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genuine
SUZUKI replacement filter. If you use
an after-market filter, make sure it is
of equivalent quality and carefully
follow the manufacturer's instructions
and precautions.
A CAUTION
Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect installa-
tion 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.
