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.


  1. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER


    1. A010O7V

      Remove the 8 clips and fold back the engine under cover.

      Tech Tips

      It is not necessary to fully remove the engine under cover. Partially remove it so that the oil filter element can be removed in a later step.

  2. DRAIN ENGINE OIL


    1. Remove the oil filler cap.

    2. Remove the oil pan drain plug and gasket, and then drain the engine oil into a container.

    3. Install a new gasket and the oil pan drain plug.

  3. REMOVE OIL FILTER ELEMENT


    1. A010SYC

      Remove the oil filter drain plug.

    2. Remove the O-ring from the oil filter drain plug and install it to an oil filter drain pipe.

      *1 Oil Filter Element
      *2 O-Ring

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

      Note

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

  4. INSTALL OIL FILTER ELEMENT


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

      *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 in 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.

  5. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add new engine oil.

      Standard Oil Grade
      Oil Grade Oil Viscosity (SAE)
      ACEA C2

      - 0W-30

      - 5W-30
      Standard Capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      Drain and refill without oil filter change 5.5 liters (5.8 US qts, 4.8 Imp. qts)
      Drain and refill with oil filter change 5.9 liters (6.2 US qts, 5.2 Imp. qts)
      Dry fill 6.3 liters (6.7 US qts, 5.5 Imp. qts)

  6. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


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

  7. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. The engine oil level should be between the dipstick 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 ENGINE UNDER COVER


    1. A010P14

      Install the engine under cover with the 8 clips.
