Frequently Asked Questions

Q: If I were to ask which engine oil I would need, what would you recommend?

A: API service Classification classification being SF or SG is preferred with the viscosity being either SAE 10W – 40 or 20W – 50 is preferred as the engines oil.

Q: How much torque would a muffler mounting bolt need?

A: When asked a muffler mounting bolt’s electric motor would require 32 N-m (3.3 kgf-m, 24 lbf-ft).

Q: How often should the oil in a car be swapped?

A: Car maintenance requires scheduling alongside being aware of mileage to have a consistent oil changing schedule.

Q: What is the gap of the spark plug?

A: The spark plug gap specification is 08 — 09 mm 031 — 035 in.

Q: How do I proceed to check the valve clearance?

A: When the engine is cold, valve clearance may be checked by a feeler gauge placed between the adjusting screw and the sub rockers arm.

Q: What actions are available to tighten the drive chain which is too loose?

A: To reduce loosening, smooth the drive chain by losing the rear axle nut and turning both adjusters until the specified chain slack is reached.

Q: What are the specifications for the tire pressure?

A: For ED, DK types, the front tire pressure should be 100 kPa 10 kgfcm² 15 psi and the rear tire pressure should also be 100 kPa 1 0 kgf/cm² 15 psi For U type, front tire pressure is 150 kPa 1 50 kgf/cm² 22 psi and rear is 125 kPa 1 25 kgf/cm² 18 psi.
