Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from
the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains
potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate means of skin pro-
tection and washing facilities must be provided.

Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practical, the risk
of skin contact with mineral oils i.e. use enclosed
systems for handling used engine oil and decrease
components, where practical, before handling them.

Other precautions:

• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oil,

particularly used engine oil.

• Wear protective clothing, including impervious

gloves where practical.

• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under

wear, with oil.

• Do not put oily rags in pockets.

• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and

oil-soaked foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned
regularly and kept separate from personal cloth-
ing.

• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protec-

tion should be worn i.e. chemical goggles or face
shields. In addition, an eye wash facility should
be provided.

• Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open

cuts and wounds.

• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all

oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After clean-
ing, apply lotion, etc., containing lanolin to
replace natural skin oils is advised.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas

oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

• Apply barrier creams before each work period to

help cleam the skin after work.

• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice

immediately.

ENGINE OIL CHECK

M1121000900267

1. Pull out the oil dipstick slowly and check that the oil level is

within the marks on the oil dipstick.

2. Check that the oil is not excessively dirty, that there is no

coolant or gasoline mixed in, and that it is sufficiently thick
and slippery.

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT

M1121001000289

Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature of

the coolant reaches 80

°C (176°F) to 90°C (194°F).

WARNING

Use care as oil could be hot.

1. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
2. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
3. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the

direction shown in the illustration, and then tighten the drain
plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 39

± 5 N⋅m (29 ± 3 ft-lb)

4. Refill the specified quantity of oil.

Specified Engine Oil: Engine oils displaying ILSAC
certification symbol ("Starburst" symbol) or conform-
ing the API classification SJ EC or SJ/CD EC
Total quantity: 4.9 dm

(5.14 quarts)

5. Install the engine oil filler cap.
6. Check oil level.

the coolant reaches 80

°C (176°F) to 90°C (194°F).

2. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
3. Use the commercially-available tool to remove the engine oil

filter.

4. Clean the filter bracket side mounting surface and ensure

the old O-ring has been removed.

5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring of the new

oil filter.

6. Where the oil filter O-ring touches the oil pan flange, tighten

the oil filter to the specified torque using the
commercially-available tool.

Tightening torque: Approximately 3/4 turn[14

± 2 N⋅m

(124

8. Rev the engine a few times, and check to be sure that no

engine oil leaks from the installation section of the oil filter.

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CHECK

M1121002300380

Required Special Tool:
MD998054: Engine Oil Pressure Switch Wrench
1. Check engine oil quantity.
2. Remove the engine oil pressure switch terminal.

CAUTION

Since sealant is applied to the thread of the engine oil
pressure switch, take care not to damage the engine oil
pressure switch when removing it.
3. Use special tool MD998054 to remove the engine oil

pressure switch.

4. Install the engine oil pressure gauge.

NOTE: Use a 1/8 pipe thread adapter.

5. Run the engine to warm it.
6. After the engine has been warmed up, check that engine oil

pressure is within the standard value.

Standard value:

At idle: 29 kPa (4.2 psi) or more
At 3,500 r/min: 294

− 686 kPa (43 − 100 psi)

7. Remove the engine oil pressure gauge.
