OIL FILTER INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL OIL FILTER ELEMENT


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

      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.

  2. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add new engine oil.

      • 10W-30
      API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil

      Drain and refill without oil filter change 4.9 liters (5.2 US qts, 4.3 Imp. qts)
      Drain and refill with oil filter change 5.3 liters (5.6 US qts, 4.7 Imp. qts)
      Dry fill 6.7 liters (7.1 US qts, 5.9 Imp. qts)

    2. Install the oil filler cap.

  3. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


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

  4. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes.

    2. Check that the 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 with 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.
