D OIL PRESSURE OIL PRESSURE PREPARATION SST 05UODX-008 INSPECTION 1. Remove the oil pressure switch. pressure 2. Screw the SST into the oil pressure switch installation hole. 3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 4. Run the engine at 1,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm, and note the gauge reading. For inspection of oil pressure Oil pressure: 9kl96 kPa (1.0-2.0 kgf/cm2,15-28 psik1,000 rpm 295492 kPa (3.0-4.0 kgf/cm2, 43-66 psi)-3,000 rpm 5. If the pressure is not as specified, check for the cause and repair. (Refer to Troubleshooting Guide.) 6. Remove the SST and install the oil pressure switch. Tightening torque: 12-17 N-m (1.2-1.8 kgf-m, 9-13 ft-lbf) 45UODX-007 Gartner Banana

ENGINE OIL D ENGINE OIL INSPECTION 1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground. 2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and stop it. 3. Wait for five minutes. 4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level and condi- tion. 5. Add or replace oil as necessary. Note The distance between the L and F marks on the dip- stick represents 0.8 L (0.85 US qt, 0.70 Imp qt}. REPLACEMENT Warning When the engine and the oil are hot, they can badly burn. Don't burn yourself with either. 1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and stop it. 2. Remove the oil filler cap and the oil drain plug. 3. Drain the oil into a container. 4. Install a new gasket and the drain plug. Tightening torque: 3041 N-m 13.0-4.2 kgf.m, 22-30 ft-lbf) 5. Refill the engine with the specified type and amount of engine oil. Oil replacement: 3.6 L 13.8 US qt, 3.2 Imp qt) 6. Refit the oil filler cap. 7. Run the engine and check for leaks. 8. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. Gartner Banana
