LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

TSB Revision

GENERAL

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

M1001001200336

Maintenance and lubrication service recommenda-
tions have been compiled to provide maximum pro-
tection 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 oper-
ated 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 Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute (API) and the National Lubri-
cating Grease Institute (NLGI).

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

Information for service maintenance is provided in
the "SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE." Three
schedules are provided; one for "Required Mainte-
nance." 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 for vehi-
cles 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°F)

(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 pro-
longed 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 SL.
For further details, refer to "LUBRICANTS SELEC-
TION."

LUBRICANTS AND GREASES

Semi-solid lubricants bear the NLGI designation and
are further classified as grades 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
Whenever "Chassis Lubricant" is specified, Multipur-
pose Grease, NLGI grade Number 2, should be
used.

FUEL USAGE STATEMENT

CAUTION

Using leaded gasoline in this car will damage the
catalytic converters and heated oxygen sensors,
and affect the warranty coverage validity.
This vehicle must use unleaded gasoline only.
This vehicle has a fuel filler tube which is especially
designed to accept only the smaller-diameter
unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.
The 2.4L model is designed to operate on unleaded
gasoline having a minimum octane rating of 87
[(MON + RON)/2], or 91 RON.
The 3.8L model is designed to operate on premium
grade unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane
rating of 91 [(MON + RON)/2], or 95 RON. If pre-
mium grade unleaded gasoline is not available,
unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 87
[(MON + RON)/2], or 91 RON may be reduced.
NOTE:

•

MON: Motor Octane Number

•

RON: Research Octane Number

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND LUBRICANT CAPACITIES TABLE

TSB Revision

GENERAL

00-34

GASOLINE CONTAINING ALCOHOL
Some gasoline sold at service stations contain alco-
hol 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 driveability problems are experienced as a
result of using gasohol, it is recommended that the
vehicle be operated on gasoline.
Methanol: Do not use gasoline containing metha-
nol (wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol can
result in vehicle performance deterioration and dam-
age critical parts in the fuel system components. Fuel
system damage and performance problems resulting
from the use of gasoline containing methanol may
not be covered by the new vehicle warranty.

GASOLINE CONTAINING METHYL 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 per-
formance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.

MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL

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