PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK 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, engine 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 engine 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 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.

  2. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY


    1. Check the engine oil for deterioration, water intrusion, discoloration or thinning.

      If the quality is visibly poor, replace the engine oil and oil filter element.

  3. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE


    1. Using a 27 mm socket wrench, remove the oil filter cover.

    2. Remove the oil filter sub-assembly from the oil filter cover.

      *a Oil Pressure Gauge

      Set an oil filter sub-assembly in SST.

    4. Using a 27 mm socket wrench, tighten SST.

      SST
      PZ4TB-22084-23
      Torque:
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      After tightening SST, make sure that there is no gap and that the O-ring is not protruding.

    5. Install the oil pressure gauge with SST.

    6. Warm up the engine.

    7. Measure the engine oil pressure.

      Standard Oil Pressure
      Condition Specified Condition
      Idling

      180 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 psi) or higher

      4000 rpm

      400 to 420 kPa (4.1 to 4.3 kgf/cm2, 58 to 61 psi)

    8. Remove the oil pressure gauge.

    9. Using a 27 mm socket wrench, remove SST.

    10. Install a new oil filter sub-assembly.
