ENGINE MAINTENANCE (HRA2DDT)

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 area.
• 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 head and camshaft bracket
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)

OIL PRESSURE CHECK

WARNING:

• Be careful not to get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
• When checking engine oil pressure, shift position should be “Parking position”, and apply parking

brake securely.

1.

Check engine oil level. Refer to 

MA-75, "ENGINE OIL : Inspection"

.

2.

Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch and remove oil pressure switch using a deep socket
(commercial service tool).

CAUTION:

Never drop or shock oil pressure switch.

3.

Install oil pressure gauge [SST: KV113E0020 (Mot. 836-05)].

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.

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

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 Liquid Gasket or equivalent. 

c.

Check engine oil level. Refer to 

MA-75, "ENGINE OIL : Inspection"

.

d.

After warming up engine, check that there is no leakage of engine oil with running engine.

ENGINE OIL : Draining

INFOID:0000000011497290

WARNING:

• Be careful not to get burned, 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 the engine, and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer to 

MA-75,

"ENGINE OIL : Inspection"

.

2.

Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.

ENGINE OIL : Refilling

INFOID:0000000011497291

1.

Install drain plug with new drain plug washer. Refer to 

EM-47, "Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new drain plug washer.

2.

Refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity: Refer to 

MA-64, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

CAUTION:

• The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-

tions for reference only.

• Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in the engine.

3.

Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.

4.

Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.

5.

Check the engine oil level. Refer to 

MA-75, "ENGINE OIL : Inspection"

.
