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. Check that the oil level is 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 fill with engine oil above the full level mark.

  2. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY


    1. Check for deterioration, traces of water, discoloring, or thinning. If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.

      Oil grade
      API grade CF (Full Synthetic), ACEA A3/B3, SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40 is the best choice for your vehicle for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather.

      Note


      • Only use full synthetic motor oil.

      • Do not use mineral motor oil.

      • The use of the genuine motor oil is recommended. Another motor oil matching quality can also be used.

  3. REMOVE TURBO INSULATOR NO.1

      Remove the 2 nuts and 2 exhaust manifold converter clamps.

    2. Remove the 2 nuts, exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly, catalytic converter support bracket, and converter separator insulator No.1.

  6. CHECK ENGINE OIL PRESSURE


    1. Disconnect the engine engine oil pressure switch connector.

    2. Remove the engine oil pressure switch.

    3. A0138R1E01

      Install the oil pressure gauge.

    4. Warm up the engine.

    5. Measure the engine oil pressure.

      Oil pressure
      Engine rpm Oil pressure
      1,000 rpm

      130 kpa (1.3 kgf/cm2, 18.5 psi, 1.3 bars)
      4,000 rpm

      350 kpa (3.5 kgf/cm2, 49.8 psi, 3.5 bars)

      If the oil pressure is not as specified, repair the lubrication system.

    6. Remove the oil pressure gauge.

    7. A0138DOE02

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