REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Care should be taken, therefore, when changing en-
gine oil to minimize the frequency and length of time
your skin is exposed to used engine oil. Protective
clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil
should be worn. The skin should be thoroughly
washed with soap and water, or use water−less hand
cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use
gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
In order to preserve the environment, used oil and
used oil filters must be disposed of only at desig-
nated disposal sites.
1. DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil into a contain-
er.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT RELIEF VALVE
Coat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole by its own weight.
If it doesn’t, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the oil
pump assembly.
2. INSPECT DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS
3. INSPECT ROTOR BODY CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driv-
en rotor and body.
Standard body clearance:
0.10 − 0.16 mm (0.0039 − 0.0063 in.)
Maximum body clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
4. INSPECT ROTOR TIP CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the drive
and driven rotor tips.
Standard tip clearance:
0.04 − 0.16 mm (0.0016 − 0.0063 in.)
Maximum tip clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors
as a set.
