OIL PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY


    1. Install a new gasket.

    2. Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, install the engine oil pressure switch assembly.

      Torque:
      28 N*m  { 280 kgf*cm, 20 ft.*lbf }

    3. Connect the engine oil pressure switch connector.

  2. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


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

  3. 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.

  4. INSTALL RADIATOR SUPPORT OPENING COVER
