OIL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL ENGINE OIL LEVEL SENSOR


    1. Install a new gasket to the engine oil level sensor.

    2. Install the engine oil level sensor with the 4 bolts.

      Torque:

    3. Connect the connector.

  2. CONNECT OIL COOLER TUBE


    1. Connect the oil cooler tube with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      14 N*m  { 143 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

  3. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add fresh oil and install the oil filler cap.

      Dry fill 9.3 liters (9.8 US qts, 8.2 Imp. qts)

  4. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


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

      *a Measuring Surface
      *b Low Level Mark
      *c Full Level Mark

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

      If the level is 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.

  5. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


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

  6. INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER


    1. Install the No. 2 engine under cover with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      29 N*m  { 296 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }

  7. INSTALL NO. 1 ENGINE UNDER COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A0157XJ

      Remove the 10 bolts and No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly.

  8. INSTALL FRONT FENDER SPLASH SHIELD SUB-ASSEMBLY LH


    1. Push in the clip to install the front fender splash shield sub-assembly LH.

    2. Install the 3 bolts and screw.

  9. INSTALL FRONT FENDER SPLASH SHIELD SUB-ASSEMBLY RH


    1. Push in the clip to install the front fender splash shield sub-assembly RH.

    2. Install the 3 bolts and 2 screws.
