INSPECTION
ENGINE OIL
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temper-
ature and stop it.
3. Wait for five minutes.
4. Remove the oil level gauge and check the oil lev-
el and condition.
5. Add or replace oil if necessary.
Note
The distance between the L and F marks on
the level gauge represents 1.2 liters (1.26 US
qt, 1.05 Imp qt).
OIL PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the oil hose (vacuum pump—cylinder
block).
76G02B-007
2. Set the SST as shown.
3. Remove the vacuum pump drive belt to prevent
heat damage to bearing.
4. Warm up the engine to normal operating tem-
perature.
76G02B-008
5. Run the engine first at 1,000 rpm, then at 3,000
rpm and note the gauge reading.
Standard oil pressure kPa (kg/cm2, psi)

1,000 rpm 147-245 (1.5-2.5, 21-36)
3,000
rpm
343—441 (3.5-4.5, 50—64)

6. If the pressure is not as specified, check for the
cause, and repair if necessary.
(Refer to Troubleshooting Guide.)

ENGINE OIL
REPLACEMENT
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature and stop it.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and the oil pan drain plug.
3. Drain the oil into a suitable container.
Warning
Be careful when draining, the oil is very hot.
4. Install the drain plug and a new gasket.
Tightening torque:
29—41 N-m (3.0—4.2 m-kg, 22—30 ft-lb)
5. Refill the engine with the specified type and amount
of oil.
6. Refit the oil filler cap.
Oil pan capacity:
5.0 liters (5.3 US qt, 4.4 Imp qt)
7. Recheck the oil level after the engine has been run.

OIL
FILTER
REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the oil filter with a suitable wrench.
2. Use a clean rag to wipe off the mounting surface
on the engine.
3. Apply a coat of engine oil to the filter rubber seal.
4. Install the oil filter until the rubber seal contacts the
oil cooler by hand. Then tighten it a 7/6 turn fur-
ther with a band type wrench.
5. Start the engine and inspect around the filter seal
for leaks.
6. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
Oil filter capacity:
0.50 liters (0.52 US qt, 0.44 Imp qt)
