OIL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL ENGINE OIL LEVEL SENSOR


    1. Clean the engine oil level sensor installation area in the oil pan sub-assembly.

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

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

    4. Connect the engine oil level sensor connector.

  2. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add new engine oil and install the oil filler cap.

  3. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) Click here.

    2. Warm up the engine, stop it and wait 5 minutes. The engine oil level should be between the low level mark and full level mark on the engine oil level dipstick.

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

      Note

      Do not add engine oil 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 leaving the vehicle idling for a long time, or when driving frequently in 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.

  4. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


    1. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) Click here

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

  5. INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER


    1. Install the No. 2 engine under cover with the 4 screws and 2 grommets.

  6. INSTALL FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER BRACE


    1. Install the front suspension member brace with the 4 bolts and clip.
