Two types of Enigne
Diesel - which have Compression Ignition.
Gas    - Which have Spark Ignition

Standard Percentage of Torque Wrench
1st Torque - 30%
2nd Torque - 30%
3rd Torque - 40%

Standard Measurement of the Spark Plugs
Platinum - 1.1 millimeter
Ordinary - .80 millimeter

NOTE :
    Replace Spark Plugs every 100,000km
Types of Sealant
* Three Bond    - 1280
  Sealant Color - Black
  Area of Use   - Enigne Oil Pan

* Three Bond    - 1281
  Sealant Color - Vermillion
  Area of Use   - Transaxle Case (Manual)

* Three Bond    - 1282
  Sealant Color - Black
  Area of Use   - Water Drain Plug

* Three Bond    - 1131
  Sealant COlor - White
  Area of Use   - Automatic Transaxle

* Three Bond    - 1324
  Sealant Color - Red
  Area of Use   - Fastening Screw

* Three Bond    - 1344
  Sealant Color - Green

4 Methods of Joining Parts
* Fastening
* Welding
* Bonding
* Soldering

Handling Precaution
* Before coating w/ sealant,remove the old sealant carefully & clean the area to be sealed w/ gasoline.
* Use only the specified sealant. Using different type of sealant result in poor sealing,causing leakage.
* Immediately install parts to which sealant has been appplied. If not the sealed efficiency will decrease.
 
Types of Grease

* Grease Color - Ocher
  Area of Use  - Wheel bearing, Universal Joint, Steering Gear

* Grease Color - Black
  Area of Use  - Rackin Pinion, Drive Shaft

* Grease Color - Gray
  Area of Use  - Anti-Squeal of Discbrake

Note:
    Grease also is a semi-solid lubricant
      - Mineral grease has negative effect on rubber parts such as brake cylinder cup.
Types of Fluid

* ATF - Automatic Transmission Fluid
* Power Steering Fluid
* Brake Fluid
* Shock Absorber Fluid
* Suspension Fluid
* Brake Fluid Grades (Boiling Point - Dot 3/205'c, Dot 4/230'c, Dot 5/260'c)

NOTE :
    Replace Brake Fluids every 20,000km

Handling Precaution :
    Do not contaminate brake fluid w/ H2o/water.
    Do not contaminate brake fluid w/ Oil.
    Do not mixed different fluids grades.
    Do not let fluid spill to the paint.
