GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
FUEL (For the other countries)
Use unleaded gasoline that is graded 91 octane or higher by the Research Method.
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 your vehicle. 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.
BRAKE FLUID

!
ENGINE COOLANT
Since antifreeze also has corrosion- and rust-inhibiting properties, always use engine coolant containing
antifreeze, even if the atmospheric temperature does not go below the freezing point.
Use an antifreeze designed for aluminum radiator. SUZUKI recommends the use of SUZUKI COOLANT
antifreeze. if this is not available, use an equivalent antifreeze for aluminum radiators.
Mix only distilled water with the antifreeze. Other types of water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
Mix distilled water and antifreeze at a ratio of 50:50 – 40:60.
For more information, refer to page 5-3 in the Cooling System section.
"
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.
The percentage of antifreeze in the coolant should be between 50 to 60%. If the percentage of
antifreeze is above or below this range the coolant’s frost protection and rust-inhibiting capa-
bilities will be reduced. Always keep the antifreeze content above 50% even if the atmospheric
temperature does not go below the freezing point.
