OIL AND FILTER
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If the oil quality is visibly poor, replace it.
Oil grade:
API grade or SH Energy-Conserving II or ILSAC multi-
grade engine oil. Recommended viscosity is as
shown in the illustration, with SAE 5W-30 being the
prefferred engine oil.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the ºLº and ºFº marks on the dip-
stick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ºFº mark.
3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND INSTALL OIL
PRESSURE GAUGE
(a) Remove the bolt and air intake connector.
(b) M/T only
Remove the 3 bolts, release cylinder and tube from the
transaxle.
(c) Remove the oil pressure switch.
(d) Install the oil pressure gauge.
4. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
5. CHECK OIL PRESSURE
Oil pressure:
At idle speed
29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi) or more
At 3,000 rpm
245 - 490 kPa (2.5 - 5.0 kgf/cm
2, 36 - 71 psi)
6. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND REINSTALL
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(a) Remove the oil pressure gauge.
(b) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.
Adhesive:
Part No. 08833-00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or eqivalent
(c) Reinstall the oil pressure switch.

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. Ade-
quate means of skin protection and washing facilities
should be provided.
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. Wash your skin throughly with soap
and water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to remove
any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or
solvents.
In order to preserve the environment, used oil must
be disposed of only at designated 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.
2. REPLACE OIL FILTER
(a) Using SST, remove the oil filter.
SST 09228-06501
(b) Clean the filter contact surface on the filter mounting.
(c) Lubricate the filter rubber gasket with engine oil.
(d) Tighten filter until the gasket contacts seat of the filter
mounting. Then using SST, give it an additional 3/4 turn
to seat the filter.
SST 09228-06501
3. FILL WITH ENGINE OIL
(a) Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.
Torque: 25 N´m (250 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf)
(b) Fill the engine with new oil.
