SELECTION OF COOLANT

Relationship between Coolant Concentration and Specific Gravity

CAUTION

• If the concentration of the coolant is less than 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely

affected. In addition, if the concentration is greater than 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cool-
ing properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to main-
tain the concentration level within the specified range.

• Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.

Example

• The safe operating temperature is −15°C (5° F) when the specific gravity is 1.058 at the coolant tempera-

ture of 20

° C (68° F)

each year, the oil filter should be replaced at
every oil change

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE UNDER
SEVERE USAGE CONDITIONS

Maintenance should be carried out according to the
following table:

Severe usage conditions
A

− Driving in dusty conditions

− Trailer towing, or police, taxi, or commercial type

operation
C

− Extensive idling, driving in stop and go traffic

− Short-trip operation at freezing temperatures

(engine not thoroughly warmed up)

− Driving in sandy areas

− Driving in salty areas

− More than 50% operation in heavy city traffic or

at sustained high speeds during hot weather grater
than 32

°C (90°F)

− Driving off-road

MAINTENANCE SERVICE

1. FUEL SYSTEM (TANK, PIPE LINE AND
CONNECTIONS, AND FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE
CAP) (Check for leaks)

M1001001600130

1. Check for damage or leakage in the fuel lines and

connections.

2. Inspect the surface of fuel hoses for heat and mechanical

damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, checking, tears,
cuts, abrasions and excessive swelling indicate deterioration
of the rubber.

3. If the fabric casing of the rubber hose is exposed by cracks

and abrasions in the fuel system, the hoses should be
replaced.

NO.
