CAPACITIES, FLUIDS, AND LUBRICANTS
The following capacities are only an approximation of the amount of fluid required to fill the respective system.
Fluids
Air conditioning
The air conditioning system is filled with R134a refrigerant. If oil needs to be added to the system, use the oil specified below.
- Up to 2010 MY: Daphne Hermetic oil FV Series
- From 2010 MY: Nippon Ze-GLES RB68
Antifreeze solutions
The cooling system contains a propylene glycol (PG) based antifreeze.
Use a 50% mix of water and Sierra Antifreeze Coolant-PG.
Do not top-up or refill the cooling system with any other type of antifreeze.
The cooling system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the correct amount of antifreeze solution at the specified service intervals.
Antifreeze concentration
The overall antifreeze concentration should not fall, by volume, below 50% to make sure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained. Antifreeze concentrations greater than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
Brake fluid
Any brand of brake fluid meeting DOT 4 specification. Only use new fluid from sealed containers.
Transmission fluid
Any brand of fluid meeting ATF Dexron VI specification.
Washer fluid
Any brand of washer fluid.
Lubrication
Brake Pads
Apply a light coating of any brand of high temperature copper anti-seize paste to the contact area between the pad and caliper.
Driveshaft joints
- Outer driveshaft joint - Remove all existing grease, clean joint and apply approximately 120g ± 10g of Olistamoly 2LN584.
- Inner driveshaft joint - Remove all existing grease, clean joint and apply approximately 130g ± 10g of KY 1Luber C.
Suspension
Apply a light coating of any brand of high performance lithium based grease to the contact areas of the sway bar, sway bar bushes and brackets.
Transmission input / Motor output shafts
Only use Mobiltemp SHC 32 grease on the shaft splines.
General greasing
Any brand of lubricating grease.
Locks, latches and hinges
Any brand of lubricating grease.
Electrical connectors
Apply any brand of aerosol based dielectric grease.
Electrical posts and Ground points
Apply any brand of water resistant silicone based grease.
