9-6 Maintenance and schedules Engine oil and oil filter: Replace engine oil and oil filter at the specified intervals. For recommended oil grade and viscosity refer to “Capacities and recommended fluids/lubricants” (P.10-2). Engine valve clearance*: Inspect only if valve noise increases. Evaporative emissions control vapor lines*: Check vapor lines for leaks or looseness. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. Fuel filter Periodic maintenance is not required (in- tank type filter). Fuel lines*: Check the fuel hoses, piping and connec- tions for leaks, looseness, or deterioration. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. Spark plugs: Replace at specified intervals. Install new plugs of the type as originally equipped. CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE Brake lines and cables: Visually inspect for proper installation. Check for chafing, cracks, deterioration, and signs of leaking. Replace any deterio- rated or damaged parts immediately. Brake pads and rotors: Check for wear, deterioration and fluid leaks. Replace any deteriorated or da- maged parts immediately. Exhaust system: Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for leaks, cracks, deteriora- tion, and damage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. In-cabin microfilter: Replace at specified intervals. When driv- ing for prolonged periods in dusty condi- tions, replace the filter more frequently. Propeller shaft(s): Check for damage, looseness, and grease leakage. (AWD) Steering gear and linkage, axle and suspension parts, drive shaft boots: Check for damage, looseness, and leak- age of oil or grease. Under severe driving conditions, inspect more frequently. Tire rotation: Rotate tires at the specified interval. When rotating tires, check for damage and uneven wear. Replace if necessary. Transmission fluid/oil, differential oil and transfer case oil: Visually inspect for signs of leakage at specified intervals. rough or muddy roads: . Replace the Manual Transmission gear oil every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months. . Replace the CVT fluid every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or request the deal- er to inspect the fluid deterioration data using a CONSULT. If the dete- rioration data is more than 210,000, replace the CVT fluid. |
