OIL PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY


    1. A01EKV2E02

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

      Adhesive
      TOYOTA Genuine Adhesive 1344, Three Bond 1344 or equivalent.

      Note

      Do not let adhesive adhere to the oil hole.

    2. A01EMHO

      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 within 1 hour of installation.

    3. Connect the oil pressure switch connector.

  2. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


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

  3. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


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

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

      If the level is low, check for engine oil leaks and add engine oil to the full level mark.

      Note

      Do not fill 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.
