QR25DE





*1: For further details, refer to.

*2: If SUZUKI approved Matic S ATF is not available, SUZUKI approved Matic J ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission fluid other than SUZUKI approved Matic S ATF or SUZUKI approved Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission.

*3: For further details, see "Air conditioner specification label".

*4: For further details, refer to [Fuel (Regular Unleaded Gasoline Recommended) QR25DE and VQ40DE] [1][2]Fuel.

*5: See a SUZUKI dealer for service for synthetic oil.

VQ40DE





*1: For further details, refer to.

*2: If SUZUKI approved Matic S ATF is not available, SUZUKI approved Matic J ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission fluid other than SUZUKI approved Matic S ATF or SUZUKI approved Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission.

*3: For further details, see "Air conditioner Specification Label".

*4: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0° C (32° F).

*5: For further details, refer to [Fuel (Regular Unleaded Gasoline Recommended) QR25DE and VQ40DE] [1][2]Fuel.

*6: Using fluid other than SUZUKI approved Matic D ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and transfer durability, and may damage the transfer.

*7: See a SUZUKI dealer for service for synthetic oil.

SAE Viscosity Number

SUZUKI recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy. Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard (2). These oils have the API certification mark (1) on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label should not be used as they could cause engine damage.





Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system additives are not necessary.

CAUTION:

When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only SUZUKI super long life coolant (blue) or equivalent. SUZUKI super long life coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to provide antifreeze protection to -34° F (-37° C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather where you operate your vehicle, add SUZUKI super long life coolant (blue) concentrate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than SUZUKI super long life coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufacturer's instructions to maintain minimum antifreeze protection to -34° F (-37° C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other than SUZUKI super long life coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine cooling system.
