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.

  • Precautions should be taken when replacing engine oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact with used engine oil. Protective clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil should be worn. The skin should be washed with soap and water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil thoroughly. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.

  • In order to protect the environment, used oil and used oil filters must be disposed of at designated disposal sites.

      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 to 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.

      Standard engine oil
      Oil grade Oil Viscosity (SAE)
      API grade SL "energy-conserving", SM "energy-conserving", SN "resource-conserving" or ILSAC multigrade engine oil

      0W-20

      5W-20

      5W-30

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

      15W-40

      20W-50
      Standard capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      Drain and refill without oil filter change 8.4 liters (8.9 US qts, 7.4 Imp. qts)
      Drain and refill with oil filter change 9.0 liters (9.5 US qts, 7.9 Imp. qts)
      Dry fill 9.8 liters (10.4 US qts, 8.6 Imp. qts)
    2. A01GX46

  6. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


    1. Start the engine. Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the area that was worked on.

  7. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. The oil level should be between the dipstick's low level mark and full level mark.

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

      Note

      Do not fill engine oil 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 speed or with a heavy load, (when towing, or), when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently.

      • When leaving the idling for a long time, or when driving frequently through heavy traffic.

      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.

  8. INSTALL OIL FILTER ELEMENT SERVICE HOLE COVER

    A01H0DG

    1. Install the service hole cover with the screw.
