Approx. 75-80 lb-ft @ 3500 RPM (G13B)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline
Induction:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Engine Code:
J13 (another common designation)
Engine Type:
Inline-4 Cylinder, SOHC, 16-Valve
Displacement:
1.3 Liters (1300cc)
Horsepower Bhp:
Approx. 70-75 bhp (depending on regional tuning)
Torque Lb-Ft:
Approx. 70-75 lb-ft
Fuel System:

Engine Oil And Filter:
Every 5,000-10,000 km (3,000-6,000 miles) or 6-12 months, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact specification).
Air Filter:
Inspect every 10,000 km (6,000 miles), replace as needed or at intervals specified in the manual.
Spark Plugs:
Replace every 40,000-60,000 km (25,000-37,000 miles), depending on plug type.
Timing Belt:
Replace at approximately 80,000-100,000 km (50,000-60,000 miles) or every 5-7 years. Critical for G13B engine to prevent catastrophic failure.
Engine Oil Type:
API SG or higher, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 recommended (check manual for specific viscosity and API rating based on climate).
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approx. 3.5 Liters (3.7 Quarts) with filter change (verify in manual).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based, Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) or equivalent (often a 50/50 mix with distilled water).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 (check manual).
Timing Belt Wear:
Critical to follow replacement schedule for the G13B engine; failure can cause severe engine damage.
Suspension Bushings:
Wear and tear on suspension bushings can lead to noise and degraded handling over time.
Oil Leaks:
Potential for minor oil leaks from valve cover gaskets or oil pan seals over higher mileage.
Rust And Corrosion:
As with many vehicles of this era, rust can be a concern, especially in areas with harsh winters or coastal environments.
