Inspection

INFOID:0000000001337827

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

NOTE:
Before starting engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check the engine oil level. If engine is already
started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking. 

1.

Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.

2.

Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) as shown.

3.

If it is out of range, adjust it.

ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

• Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
• If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.

Repair or replace damaged parts.

ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE 

Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
• Oil pan (upper and lower)
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil filter
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Front cover
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
• Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)

OIL PRESSURE CHECK

WARNING:

• Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
• For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in “Neutral position”, and apply the parking

brake securely.

1.

Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and
remove oil pressure switch using a suitable tool.
• Oil pan (lower) (2)

2.

Install oil pressure gauge and hose.

3.

Check engine oil level. Refer to 

LU-15, "Inspection"

.

4.

Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

5.

Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.

Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80

°

C (176

°

F)]

If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.

6.

After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:

a.

Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.

b.

Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to 

GI-27, "Recommended Chemical Prod-

ucts and Sealants"

. 

c.

Check engine oil level. Refer to 

LU-15, "Inspection"

.

d.

After warming up engine, make sure there are no engine leaks of oil with running engine.

Changing Engine Oil

WARNING:

• Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin

contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible. 

1.

Warm up engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check for engine oil leakage from engine compo-
nents. Refer to 

LU-15, "Inspection"

.

2.

Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.

6.

Refill with new engine oil.
Refer to 

MA-19, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

CAUTION:

• The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature

and drain time. Use these specifications for reference
only.

• Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper

amount of engine oil in the engine.

7.

Warm up engine and check area around drain plug (2) and oil fil-
ter (3) for engine oil leakage.

8.

Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
