12-18 Simple inspection and service
Application and replacement of lubricants at the
specified intervals is vital to the vehicle’s perfor-
mance, longevity, and safety. Following the mainte-
nance schedule will give optimum results.
P. 15-2
• If the vehicle is often used in demanding condi-
tions, for example, on unpaved roads, near the
coast, or in cold regions, lubricants should be
applied and replaced more quickly than speci-
fied in the maintenance schedule. Consult an
authorized dealer for lubricant application and
replacement intervals most appropriate to your
driving conditions.
• Use only the lubricants specified. P. 14-3
• Special lubricants must be used if the vehicle is
used at temperatures below –23°C (–10°F). For
details, refer to an authorized dealer.
CAUTION
• Apply and replace lubricants regularly. Use
of lubricants beyond their designed service
life could cause bearings or other compo-
nents to seize up and cause an accident.
• Any checking, application, or replacement of
lubricants should be carried out with the
vehicle parked on level ground.
• Wipe all lubricant inspection windows and
filling ports carefully to prevent the entry of
mud, trash, water, or other contaminants.
• Never flush waste oil into the sewers or onto
the ground. Take it to a gas station or autho-
rized dealer.
