INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Drive belt

Check that the drive belt tension is correct.

If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery

charging, engine overheating, poor power

steering, poor air conditioning, or exces-

sive belt wear can result. When you press

the belt with your thumb midway between

the pulleys, there should be a deflection

according to the following chart.

The belts should also be examined to

ensure that they are not damaged.

If you need to replace or adjust the belt

have it done by your authorised Maruti

Suzuki workshop.

Engine oil and filter

Specified oil

(For petrol engine model)

71LST0701

(1) Preferred

Be sure that the engine oil you use comes

under the quality classification of SL, SM

or SN. Select the appropriate oil viscosity

according to the above chart.

SAE 0W-20 (1) is the best choice for good

fuel economy and good starting in cold

weather.

WARNING

When the engine is running, keep

hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away

from the moving fan and drive belts.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to keep the engine oil at the

correct level for proper lubrication of your

vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with

the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level

indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle

is on a slope. The oil level should be

checked either before starting the engine

or at least 5 minutes after stopping the

engine.

The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-

ored with yellow for easy identification.

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a

clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way

into the engine, and then remove it again.

The oil on the stick should be between the

upper and lower limits shown on the stick.

If the oil level indication is near the lower

limit, add enough oil to raise the level to

the upper limit.

Refilling

(For petrol engine model)

68PH00762

(For diesel engine model)

82PM07001

Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly

through the filler hole to bring the oil level

to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful

not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost

as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the

engine and allow it to idle for about a min-

ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes

and check the oil level again.

Changing engine oil and filter

Drain the engine oil while the engine is still

warm.

66RH001

1) Remove the oil filler cap.

2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.

3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug

and drain the engine oil.

NOTICE

Failure to check the oil level regularly

could lead to serious engine trouble

due to insufficient oil.

NOTICE

(For diesel engine model)

Do not top up the oil over the MAX

limit. Too much oil causes serious

engine trouble.

CAUTION

The engine oil temperature may be

high enough to burn your fingers

when the drain plug is loosened. Wait

until the drain plug is cool enough to

touch with your bare hands.

Tightening torque for drain plug

Petrol engine :

35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)

Diesel engine :

20 Nm (2.0 kg-m, 14.8 lb-ft)

4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gas-

ket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to

the specified torque.

Oil filter replacement

NOTE:

(For diesel engine model)

Since special procedures and tools are

required, ask your authorised Maruti

Suzuki workshop for this job.

1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil fil-

ter counterclockwise and remove it.

2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount-

ing surface on the engine where the

new filter will be seated.

3) Smear a small amount of engine oil

around the rubber gasket of the new oil

filter.

4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil-

ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-

face.

WARNING

Engine oil can be hazardous. Chil-

dren and pets may be harmed by

swallowing new or used oil. Keep

new and used oil and used oil filters

away from children and pets.

Repeated, prolonged contact with

used engine oil may cause skin can-

cer.

Brief contact with used oil may irri-

tate skin.

(Continued)

EXAMPLE

WARNING

(Continued)

To minimize your exposure to used

oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and

moisture-proof gloves (such as dish-

washing gloves) when changing oil. If

oil contacts your skin, wash thor-

oughly with soap and water.

Launder any clothing or rags if it is

with oil.

Recycle or properly dispose of used

oil and oil filters.

5) Tighten the filter as specified below

from the point of contact with the

mounting surface (or to the specified

torque) using an oil filter wrench.

Tightening torque for oil filter

Petrol engine :

3/4 turn or

14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.3 lb-ft)

Diesel engine :

25 Nm (2.5 kg-m, 18.5 lb-ft)

Refill with oil and oil leakage check

1) Pour oil through the filler hole and

install the filler cap.

For the approximate capacity of the oil,

refer to “Capacities” in the “SPECIFI-

CATIONS” section.

2) Start the engine and carefully check the

oil filter and the drain plug for leakage.

Run the engine at various speeds for at

least 5 minutes.

3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min-

utes. Check the oil level again and add

oil if necessary. Check for leakage

again.

NOTICE

To tighten the oil filter properly, it is

important to accurately identify the

position at which the filter gasket

first contacts the mounting surface.

EXAMPLE

NOTICE

To prevent oil leakage, check that the

oil filter is tight, but do not over-

tighten it.

NOTICE

• When replacing the oil filter, it is

recommended that you use a

MARUTI genuine replacement filter.

If you use an aftermarket filter,

check that it is of equivalent quality

and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions.

• Oil leakage from the periphery of

the oil filter or drain plug indicate

incorrect installation or gasket

damage. If you find any leakage or

are not sure that the filter has been

properly tightened, have the vehi-

cle inspected by your authorised

Maruti Suzuki workshop.
