Check that the drive belt tension is correct

while the engine is stopped. If the belt is

too loose, insufficient battery charging,

engine overheating, poor air conditioning,

or excessive belt wear can result. When

you push the belt with your thumb midpoint

between the pulleys, there should be a

deflection according to the following chart.

Check that the engine oil you use comes

under the quality classification as listed

below:

If you need to replace or adjust the belt

have it done by an authorized SUZUKI

dealer.

(a) New:

• API SL, SM or SN

4.8 - 5.9 mm (0.19 - 0.23 in.)

Readjustment:

7.1 - 8.2 mm (0.28 - 0.32 in.)

Select the appropriate oil viscosity accord-

ing to the above chart.

(b) New:

SAE 0W-16 (1) is the best choice for good

fuel economy, and good starting in cold

weather.

3.4 - 4.3 mm (0.13 - 0.17 in.)

Readjustment:

5.3 - 6.0 mm (0.21 - 0.24 in.)

NOTE:

We recommend that you use SUZUKI gen-

uine oil. To purchase it, see an authorized

SUZUKI dealer.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Oil level check

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.

Refilling

EXAMPLE

Open

Close

The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-

ored with yellow for easy identification.

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe the 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.

80G064

Upper

52RM60020

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.

EXAMPLE

NOTICE

Failure to check the oil level regularly

could lead to serious engine trouble

due to insufficient oil.

2) Remove the oil filler cap.

Tightening torque for drain plug:

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

3) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.

4) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug

and drain the engine oil.

52RM70010

WARNING

1) Remove the bolts and screws, and then

remove the engine undercover.

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.

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.

Brief contact with used oil may irri-

tate skin.

Oil filter replacement

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.

(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.

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

ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-

face.

Recycle or properly dispose of used

oil and oil filters.

5) Reinstall the drain plug with new gas-

ket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to

the specified torque.

To tighten the oil filter properly, it is

important to accurately identify the

position at which the filter gasket

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.

Refill with oil and oil leakage check

Engine coolant

1) Pour oil through the filler hole and

install the filler cap.

Selection of coolant

For the approximate capacity of the oil,

refer to “Recommended fuel / lubricants

and capacities (approx.)” in “SPECIFI-

CATIONS” section.

Tightening torque for oil filter:

3/4 turn or

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

NOTICE

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.

SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant;

This coolant is already diluted to the

proper percentage. Do not dilute with

distilled water additionally. Doing so

may result in the possibility of freez-

ing and/or overheating coolant.

NOTICE

To prevent oil leakage, check that the

oil filter is tight, but do not over-

tighten it.

To maintain optimum performance and

durability of your engine, use SUZUKI gen-

uine coolant or equivalent.

NOTICE

• When replacing the oil filter, it is

recommended that you use a genu-

ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If

you use an aftermarket filter, check

that it is of equivalent quality and

follow the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions.

• 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 an authorized

SUZUKI dealer.

NOTE:

If you use the engine coolant other than

the SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) for replace-

ment, follow the schedule of SUZUKI LLC:

Standard (Green). To see the detail of the

maintenance schedule, refer to “Periodic

maintenance schedule” in this section.

This type of coolant is the best for cooling

system for the following reasons:

• The coolant helps maintain proper

engine temperature.

• It gives proper protection against freez-

ing and boiling.

• It gives proper protection against corro-

sion and rust.
