LUBRICATION SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION


  1. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up the engine and then wait for 5 minutes after turning the engine off. The oil level should be between the low level and full level marks of the dipstick.


      • If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.

        Note

        Do not add engine oil above the full level mark.

  2. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY


    1. Check the oil for deterioration, water contamination, discoloring, or thinning.

      If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.

    2. Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, remove the oil pressure switch.

    3. A01E181E01

      Install the oil pressure gauge.

    4. Warm up the engine.

    5. Measure the oil pressure.

      Standard oil pressure
      Condition Specified Condition
      Idle

      29 kPa (0.3 kgf*cm2, 4.3 psi) or more
      3,000 rpm

      294 to 539 kPa (3.0 to 5.5 kgf*cm2, 43 to 78 psi)

      If the oil pressure is not as specified, check the oil pump.

    6. Remove the oil pressure gauge.

  4. INSTALL OIL PRESSURE SWITCH


    1. A01E0ZSE01

      Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.

      Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1344, Three Bond 1344 or equivalent

    2. Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, install the oil pressure switch.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Do not start the engine for at least 1 hour after installation of the switch.

    3. Connect the oil pressure switch connector.
