OIL AND FILTER
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:
API grade SJ, Energy-Conserving or ILSAC multi-
grade engine oil.
SAE 5W - 30 is the best choice for your vehicle, for
good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weath-
er.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
After warm up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine
stop, oil level should be between the low level and full level
marks on the dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.
NOTICE:
Do not fill with engine oil above the full level mark.
3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, AND INSTALL
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
(a) Using SST, remove the oil pressure switch.
SST 09816-30010
(b) 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 idle29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.3 psi) or more
At 3,000 rpm294 - 539 kPa (3.0 - 5.5 kgf/cm2, 43 - 78 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 equivalent
(c) Using SST, install 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.
Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and
frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear
protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thor-
oughly 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 filter 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 09228-07501
(b) Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
(c) Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter.
(d) Lightly screw the oil filter into place, and tighten it until the
gasket contacts the seat.
(e) Using SST, tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.
