Common questions
What oil does a Suzuki take?
It depends on the engine. Across the 13 Suzuki engines we hold, the approvals named are A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4, A5/B5, A1/B1, C2, mostly in 0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-30. Find your engine above, or choose your engine above for the exact match.
How much oil does a Suzuki take?
Between 2.9 and 5.65 litres for an oil and filter change, depending on the engine — each engine's figure is listed above with its source. Fill to the dipstick's maximum mark rather than emptying a whole can in.
Where is the oil specification in a Suzuki handbook?
Usually in the "Technical data", "Capacities and specifications" or "Engine oil" section near the back, which names the approval code and viscosity, and the oil-change capacity with filter. The figures above link to the handbooks we found them in.
