Engine Options:
The manual covers multiple engine options for the P190 chassis, likely including 4-cylinder (e.g., 2.4L) and 5-cylinder (e.g., 3.6L Isuzu/GM derived) petrol engines, and potentially diesel variants (e.g., Isuzu 3.0L).
Horsepower Torque:
Specific HP/Torque figures would vary by engine option and are detailed within the manual.
Injection Type:
Likely multi-point fuel injection (MPI) or direct injection (DI) depending on engine variant.
Engine Types Covered:
The manual explicitly lists coverage for Engine Mechanical System, implying detailed procedures for all engine variants fitted to the P190 chassis (e.g., 4-cylinder, 5-cylinder, diesel).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 7,500 km or 6 months, but the manual will provide exact specifications for different engine types and driving conditions.
Timing Belt Chain:
Petrol engines may have timing belts requiring replacement at specific intervals (e.g., 90,000-120,000 km), while diesel engines often use timing chains. The manual will confirm.
Engine Oil Spec:
Commonly API SG/SH/SJ/SL or higher, with viscosity grades like 10W-30 or 5W-30 depending on climate and engine type. Manual will specify exact API and SAE ratings.
Coolant Spec:
Typically a silicate-free, long-life ethylene glycol based coolant. Manual will specify the correct type and mix ratio.
Brake Fluid Spec:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is common. Manual will confirm.
Power Steering Fluid Spec:
Likely uses Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) or a specific power steering fluid. Manual will specify.
Gearbox Oil Manual Spec:
GL-4 or GL-5 rated manual transmission fluid with appropriate viscosity (e.g., 75W-90). Manual will specify exact grade.
Gearbox Oil Auto Spec:
Dexron-III or Dexron-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is highly probable. Manual will confirm.
Common Problems:
Potential issues might include glow plug failures (diesel), EGR valve issues (diesel), injector pump problems (diesel), clutch wear (manual), and suspension component wear. The manual offers diagnostic and repair procedures for these.
