ENGINE OIL LEVEL
●Before starting the engine, put vehicle horizontally then check
the engine oil level. If the engine is already started, stop it and
allow 10 minutes before checking.
●Check that the engine oil level is within the range shown in the
figure.
●If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
●Check the engine oil for white turbidity or remarkable contamination.
●If the engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Find the cause and repair.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.
●Oil pan
●Oil pan drain plug
●Oil pressure switch
●Oil filter
●Oil cooler
●Intake valve timing control cover and intake valve timing control solenoid valve
●Front cover
●Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
●Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
●Crankshaft oil seal.
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
●Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
●Engine oil pressure check should be done in “ Parking
position” (A/T model) or “Neutral position” (M/T model).
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove the undercover.
3. Remove the oil pressure switch to connect the oil pressure
gauge.
4. After warming up the engine, check that oil pressure corre-
sponding to the engine speed is produced.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80 °C (176 °F)]
5. After checking, install the oil pressure switch as follows.
a. Remove old sealant adhering to the switch and engine.
b. Apply thread sealant.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.

WARNING:
Be careful not to get burned when the engine and engine oil are hot.
CAUTION:
●When removing oil cooler, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any engine oil leakage or spillage.
●Completely wipe off any engine oil that adhere to the engine and the vehicle.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front RH wheel and engine room right side cover.
2. Drain engine coolant by removing cylinder block drain plug and radiator drain cock. Refer to CO-9,
"Changing Engine Coolant" .
3. Paint a mating mark at the oil cooler and oil cooler bracket.
INSPECTION
Oil Cooler
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through engine coolant inlet. If necessary,
replace oil cooler assembly.
Oil Pressure Relief Valve
Inspect oil pressure relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks by pushing the ball. If replacement is neces-
sary, remove valve by prying it out with a suitable tool. Install a new valve in place by tapping it.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
●After warming up the engine, check for engine oil and engine coolant leakage and for engine oil level.

OIL PUMP
●Calculate the clearance between inner rotor and oil pump hous-
ing as follows.
1. Measure the outer diameter of protruded portion of inner rotor
(Position 5)
2. Measure the inner diameter of oil pump housing with inside
micrometer (Position 6)
(Clearance) = (Inner diameter of oil pump housing) – (Outer
diameter of inner rotor)
Regulator Valve
1. Visually inspect components for wear and damage.
2. Check oil pressure regulator valve sliding surface and valve spring.
3. Coat regulator valve with engine oil. Check that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
If damaged, replace regulator valve set or oil pump housing.
4. Check regulator valve to oil pump housing clearance.
CAUTION:
Coat regulator valve with engine oil.
ASSEMBLY
●Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
●Install the inner rotor and outer rotor with the punched marks on
the oil pump cover side.
●After warming up the engine, check for oil leakage and oil level.

WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter
turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant. Refer to CO-9, "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
2. Remove air duct with air cleaner assembly.
3. Remove A/T oil cooler hose.
●Install blind plug to avoid leakage of A/T fluid.
4. Disconnect radiator upper hose, lower hose and mounting bracket.
5. Remove radiator and radiator fan assembly
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch radiator core when removing.
INSTALLATION
●Reinstall any parts removed in reverse order of removal.
●Check for engine coolant leaks. Refer to CO-9, "CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .
