Engine Options:
Likely covers various gasoline and diesel engines offered in 1995, including XU series (e.g., XU7, XU9, XU10) and possibly TD series diesels.
Typical Gasoline Displacement:
1.8L (1761cc) and 2.0L (1998cc) common for the era.
Typical Diesel Displacement:
1.9L (1905cc) naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesel.
Fuel Delivery:
Multi-point Fuel Injection (MPI) or Single-point Fuel Injection (SPI) for gasoline; Diesel Direct Injection (IDI) or Common Rail (less likely for 1995) for diesel.
Ignition Type:
Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) or Distributor-based systems depending on engine variant.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Critical interval, typically around 60,000-80,000 miles or 5-6 years. Manual will specify exact interval and procedure.
Standard Transmission Type:
5-speed manual transmission (e.g., MA gearbox family).
Optional Transmission Type:
4-speed automatic transmission (e.g., AL4 variant or similar).
Fluid Type Manual:
Likely API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil (specific viscosity, e.g., 75W-90 or 80W-90, will be detailed in manual).
Fluid Type Automatic:
ATF Dexron II/III or equivalent (specific type and capacity in manual).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months, depending on driving conditions. Manual will provide precise recommendation.
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 15,000-20,000 miles or as needed based on inspection. Manual will specify.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Diesel fuel filters typically require more frequent changes than gasoline. Manual will detail interval.
Engine Oil Type:
Likely 10W-40 or 5W-40 synthetic/semi-synthetic for gasoline, 15W-40 or 10W-40 for diesel. API SJ/SL or ACEA A3/B3 specifications likely. Manual is definitive.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant, typically a pink or orange long-life type. Manual will specify type and mixture ratio.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Common Problems:
Timing belt failure if not replaced at recommended intervals, leading to catastrophic engine damage.
