1991 LEXUS SC400 recommended oil

4. VISUALLY INSPECT SPARK PLUGSCheck the spark plug for thread damage and insulator dam-
age.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug: ND PK20R11
NGK BKR6EP11
5. INSPECT ELECTRODE GAP
Maximum electrode gap: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
If the gap is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.
Correct electrode gap of new spark plug:1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
NOTICE: If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bent
only the base of the ground electrode. Do not touch the
tip. Never attempt to adjust the gap on the used plug.
6. CLEAN SPARK PLUGS If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and
then clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure: Below 588 kPa (6 kgf/cm2, 85 psi)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
HINT: If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before
using the spark plug cleaner.
7. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS Using a 16 mm plug wrench, install the spark plug.
Torque: 18 N Vm (180 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)
8. RECONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS TO SPARK

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITYCheck the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or
thinning.
If the quality is poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade: API grade SG, Energy±Conserving II multi- grade. Recommended viscosity is as shown,
with SAE 5W±30 being the preferred engine
oil.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL The oil level should be between the ºLº and ºFº marks on the
dipstick.
If low, check for the leakage and add oil up to ºFº mark.
3. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER
4. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, AND INSTALL OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
5. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
6. CHECK OIL PRESSURE
Oil pressure:
At idling 29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi)
or more
At 3,000 rpm 294±588 kPa (3.0±6.0 kg/cm
2, 43±85 psi)
7. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND REINSTALL OILPRESSURE SWITCH
Apply adhesive to two or three threads of the oil pressure
switch.

P(1) Warm up engine at normal operating temperature.
(2) Switched off all accessories.
(3) Switched off air conditioner.
(4) Shift transmission into ªNº range.
(5) Connect tachometer test probe to terminal IG
of
check connector, and set the tachometer to the
4±cylinder range.
Check idle speed.
Idle speed: 650 ~ 750 rpm
Caution:

NEVER allow tachometer test probe to touch
ground as it could result in damage to igniter
and/or coil.

As some tachometers are not compatible with
this ignition system, we recommended that you
confirm compatibility of your unit before use.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms on page
