tightening under the following conditions:

1. Bolts, nuts and washers are all made of steel and

plated with zinc.

2. The threads and bearing surface of bolts and

nuts are all in dry condition.

The values in the table are not applicable:

1. If toothed washers are inserted.
2. If plastic parts are fastened.

Maintenance and lubrication service
recommendations have been compiled to provide
maximum protection for the vehicle owner's
investment against all reasonable types of driving
conditions. Since these conditions vary with the
individual vehicle owner's driving habits, the area in
which the vehicle is operated and the type of driving
to which the vehicle is subjected, it is necessary to
prescribe lubrication and maintenance service on a
time frequency as well as mileage interval basis.
Oils, lubricants and greases are classified and
graded according to standards recommended by the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the
American Petroleum Institute (API) and the National
Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

Information for service maintenance is provided in
the "SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE." Three
schedules are provided; one for "Required
Maintenance," one for "General Maintenance," and
one for "Severe Usage Service."
The item numbers in "SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
TABLE" correspond to the section numbers in
"MAINTENANCE SERVICE."

SEVERE SERVICE

Vehicles operating under severe service conditions
will require more frequent service.
Component service information is included in
appropriate units for vehicles operating under one or
more of the following conditions:
1. Trailer towing or police, taxi or commercial type

operation.

2. Operation of Vehicle

(1) Short-trip operation at freezing temperature

(engine not thoroughly warmed up)

(2) More than 50% operation in heavy city traffic

during hot weather above 32

C (90

(3) Extensive idling
(4) Driving in sandy areas
(5) Driving in salty areas
(6) Driving in dusty conditions
(7) Driving off-road

ENGINE OIL

CAUTION

Test results submitted to EPA have shown that
laboratory animals develop skin cancer after
prolonged contact with used engine oil.
Accordingly, the potential exists for humans to
develop a number of skin disorders, including
cancer, from such exposure to used engine oil.
Therefore, when changing engine oil, be careful
not to touch it as much as possible. Protective
clothing and gloves, that cannot be penetrated
by oil, should be worn. The skin should be
thoroughly washed with soap and water, or use
waterless hand cleaner, to remove any used
engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or
solvents.
Either of the following engine oils should be used:
1. Engine oil displaying ILSAC certification mark.

2. Engine oil conforming to the API classification SJ

EC or SJ/CD EC.

LUBRICANTS AND GREASES

Semi-solid lubricants bear the NLGI designation and
are further classified as grades 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND LUBRICANT CAPACITIES TABLE

TSB Revision

GENERAL <BODY AND CHASSIS>

00-32

Whenever "Chassis Lubricant" is specified,
Multipurpose Grease, NLGI grade Number 2, should
be used.

FUEL USAGE STATEMENT

CAUTION

Using leaded gasoline in your car will damage
the catalytic converters and heated oxygen
sensors, and affect the warranty coverage
validity.
This vehicle must use unleaded gasoline only.
Premium fuel is recommended for vehicles with 3.0L
engine.
This vehicle has a fuel filler tube which is especially
designed to accept only the smaller-diameter
unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.
Vehicles equipped with 2.4L engine is designed to
operate on unleaded gasoline having a minimum
octane rating of 87 [(MON + RON)/2], or 91 RON.
Vehicles equipped with 3.0L engine is designed to
operate on premium grade unleaded gasoline having
a minimum octane rating of 91 [(MON + RON)/2], or
95 RON.
If premium grade unleaded gasoline is not available,
unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 87
[(MON + RON)/2], or 91 RON may be used.
However, the performance level may be reduced.

NOTE:

•

MON: Motor Octane Number

•

RON: Research Octane Number

GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
Some gasolines sold at service stations contain
alcohol although they may not be so identified.

Using fuels containing alcohol is not recommended
unless the nature of the blend can be determined as
being satisfactory.
Gasohol: A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol)
and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used in your
vehicle. If drivability problems are experienced as a
result of using gasohol, it is recommended that the
vehicle be operated on gasoline.
Methanol: Do not use gasolines containing
methanol (wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol
can result in vehicle performance deterioration and
damage critical parts in the fuel system components.
Fuel system damage and performance problems
resulting from the use of gasolines containing
methanol may not be covered by the new vehicle
warranty.

GASOLINES CONTAINING METHY TERTIARY
BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)
Unleaded gasoline containing 15% or less MTBE
may be used in your vehicle. (Fuel containing MTBE
over 15% in volume may cause reduced engine
performance and produce vapor lock or hard
starting.

MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL

Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents
should be avoided. Many of these materials intended
for gum and varnish removal may contain highly
active solvents or similar ingredients that can be
harmful to gasket and diaphragm materials used in
fuel system component parts.
