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.
