OIL AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

CAUTION:


  • Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.

  • Wear protective clothing and gloves. Avoid contact with used oil. If contact occurs, wash your skin thoroughly with soap or waterless hand cleaner. Never use gasoline, thinners, or solvents to wash the skin.

  • In order to protect the environment, dispose of used oil and used oil filters at designated disposal sites only.

      *3 O-ring

      Remove the oil filter element and O-ring from the oil filter cap.

      Note

      Be sure to remove the O-ring by hand, without using any tools, to prevent damage to the O-ring groove.

  3. INSTALL OIL FILTER CAP ASSEMBLY


    1. Clean the inside of the oil filter cap, threads and O-ring groove.

      *1 O-ring
      *a CORRECT
      *b INCORRECT

      Apply a small amount of engine oil to a new O-ring and install it to the oil filter cap.

      Note


      • Be sure to install the O-ring in the proper location, otherwise oil may leak.

      • Do not twist the O-ring.

    3. Set a new oil filter element into the oil filter cap.

    4. Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the installation surface of the engine.

    5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring again and temporarily install the oil filter cap.

      Note

      Make sure that the O-ring does not get caught between the parts.

      13 N*m  { 127 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Be careful that the O-ring does not get caught between any surrounding parts.

  4. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add new oil.

      • 5W-20

      • 5W-30

      • 10W-30
      API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil

      • 15W-40

    2. Install the oil filler cap.

  5. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK

  6. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up and stop the engine, and then wait 5 minutes.

    2. Check that the oil level is between the low level mark and full level mark on the engine oil level dipstick.

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

      Note

      Do not fill the engine with oil to above the full level mark.

      Tech Tips

      A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.


      • When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine.

      • If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used.

      • When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load (when towing, etc.), or when accelerating or decelerating frequently while driving.

      • When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
