1996 Isuzu Oasis Service and Repair Manual

Isuzu's only minivan, the Oasis, arrived for 1996 as a rebadged Honda Odyssey built in Japan. It used four conventional hinged side doors, a fold-into-the-floor third row, and a 2.2L SOHC inline-four rated at 140 horsepower driving the front wheels through a four-speed automatic. S and LS trims were offered. Because Isuzu parts catalogs are thin for this van, a year-exact reference is valuable. This factory service and repair manual gives procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for the 1996 Oasis and its Honda-built drivetrain.
