LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and lubrication service recommendations have been compiled to provide maximum protection for the vehicle owners investment against all reasonable types of driving conditions. Since these conditions vary with the individual vehicle owners driving habits, the area in which the vehicle is operated 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 American Petroleum Institute (API) and the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
Information for service maintenance is provided in the "SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE." Three schedules are provided; one for "Required Maintenance." 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 usage conditions
- Driving on dusty, rough, muddy or salt-spread roads
- Towing or police, taxi or commercial operation
- Extensive idling and/or low speed operation
- Repeated short-trip operation at freezing temperatures (engine not thoroughly warmed up)
- Extended use of brakes while driving
- Driving in sandy areas
- More than 50% operation in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 32°C (90°F)
TC-SST FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
- Clean the TC-SST exterior, and visually check the TC-SST for fluid leaks.
- If the fluid is leaking from the oil pan or the oil seal, replace the part. If the fluid is leaking from the part other than the oil pan and the oil seal, replace the TC-SST assembly.
Scheme 149
Scheme 150
- Remove the engine room under cover front B assembly. (Refer to «UNDER COVER»(ref-592644-S24529768612014011000000) .)
- Start the engine, and let it run at idle to warm it up for 15 minutes.
- Move the shift lever to every position (P, R, N, D, manual mode) (Hold for 20 seconds in each position), and then move it to the P range.
- Stop the engine.
- Remove the air cleaner element and air cleaner intake duct. (Refer to «AIR CLEANER»(ref-592677-S03266293052014011000000) .)

CAUTION: The drained fluid can be reused if it is between the replacement intervals. < Replacement interval> Normal condition: 96, 000 km (60, 000 miles) Severe condition: 48, 000 km (30, 000 miles) When reusing the drained fluid, make sure that no foreign object gets into the fluid.
- Remove the drain plugs, and leave it for 3 minutes to drain the fluid. NOTE: Because the fluid in the oil cooler, oil filter, and TC-SST assembly cannot be drained, the amount of drained fluid will be approximately 5.5 dm 3 (approximately 5.8 quarts).
- Tighten the drain plugs to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 35 ± 5 N.m (26 ± 4 ft-lb) CAUTION: Measure the drained fluid. If the drained fluid is less than approximately 5.5 dm 3 (approximately 5.8 quarts), add new fluid to make it approximately 5.5 dm 3 (approximately 5.8 quarts).
- Fill the fluid into the filler plug. Brand name: DiaQueen SSTF-I Filling amount: Approximately 5.5 dm 3 (approximately 5.8 quarts)
- Tighten the filler plug to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 35 ± 5 N.m (26 ± 4 ft-lb)
