Are all the screws in the Type S - JIS Standard ?

[IntegraSpeed]

Curious, given its a Japanese auto, but assembled in the US. (My first Jap auto BTW) In case you didn't know, all Jap bikes use the JIS standard for all their screws (which fortunately isn't too many as most are bolts or hex), but on stuff like the brake resevoir, they 100% use JIS which looks like your regular Phillips head, except its not ! Actually you're very likely to strip a JIS screw head using a Phillips screw driver. (don't ask me how i know this!!) I have a good set of JIS drivers since learning about this, and well just curious i guess.

JIS heads typically have a little dot in them to show that they're indeed JIS. Otherwise you'd be none the wiser just looking at it.

Here's a good explanation. https://chapmanmfg.com/blogs/news/phillips-bits-vs-jis-bits-whats-the-difference

Thanks for the warning! Oh and I do not know the answer, although I haven't seen many screws on the car yet. Mostly bolts.

I do, they are most definitely JIS. I had the wheels off, tonight and the rotor screw is JIS meaning they're all going to be JIS. it even has the little dot. So i suspect a lot of people strip that mofo out, especially once its slightly rusted on. You all need to get yourselves a set of JIS drivers. Besides they're actually better than phillips on phillips screws. I exclusively use my JIS screwdrivers on everything.

Most screws will work with a regular screw driver (while being gentle) since they’re not torque down too heavy, the exception being rotor assembly line screws always use JIS impact driver

I don’t even know what this is but gives me a reason to drive the car to get the screwdriver.
