Displacement 4G63 Approx:
2.0 Liters (1997 cc)
Displacement 4G64 Approx:
2.4 Liters (2351 cc)
Fuel Type:
Gasoline (Unleaded)
Horsepower Rating:
Varies by specific engine tune and forklift model, typically in the range of 50-70 HP for industrial applications.
Torque Rating:
Varies by specific engine tune and forklift model, optimized for low-end torque for lifting applications.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely Carbureted or single-point/multi-point fuel injection, depending on the specific forklift model year and emission standards.
Ignition System:
Electronic ignition (distributorless or distributor-based).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or every 6-12 months, depending on operating conditions.
Air Filter Replacement:
Check every 250 hours, replace as needed or every 500-1000 hours.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours, or as per manual recommendation.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Refer to specific manual, usually around 1000-2000 operating hours.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
API SJ or SL, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 (confirm specific engine variant and operating temperature recommendations).
