1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 5 min.
4. Verify that the oil level is between the L and F marks on the dipstick and check the engine oil condition.
•If the oil level is below the L mark, add engine oil. (See D–8 ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT.)

Warning
•Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the
engine oil have cooled.
•A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall,
causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely
supported on safety stands.
•Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your
skin by washing with soap and water immediately after working with engine oil.
Caution
•In case you spill engine oil on the front pipe, wipe it off completely. If you fail to wipe the spilled
oil, it will produce fumes because of the heat.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Remove the the oil filler cap.
3. Remove the under cover.
4. Remove the oil pan drain plug.
5. Drain the engine oil into a container.
6. Install the oil pan drain plug with a new the washer.

Note
•The amount of residual oil in the engine can vary with the replacement method, oil temperature, etc. Verify
the oil level after engine oil replacement.
7. Refill the engine oil with the specified type and amount, then install the oil filler cap.

OIL COOLER FLUSHINGA6E571419900202
Caution
•Power flushing should be performed very carefully when removing the accumulated debris from
the fluid baffle, otherwise the debris cannot be removed or the problem becomes even worse.
Note
•The contaminated cooler line (oil pipes and hoses) and auxiliary cooler (if equipped) must be flushed
completely when ATX is overhauled or replaced.
•Performing back and reverse power flushing two times each does not work because debris or particles
flow out from the feed pipe side of ATX.
Recommended power-flushing manufacturer
Power Flushing
Repair procedure
1. Before power flushing, inspect the hoses/lines and clamps. Power flushing must begin with back flushing
followed by forward flushing to quickly dislodge the restriction. If back flushing is not performed before forward
flushing, the restriction could further reduce the ATF flow through the internal mesh type baffle of the cooler and
flushing will not be effective or possible.
Inspecting oil lines & clamps
1. Be sure to inspect the lines (hoses/pipes) for cuts, crimps (pinched), cracks or any other damage before
reusing them. If any problem exists replace it.
Caution
•Always use new clamps when replacing hoses.

Back flushing
1. Using the power flushing equipment
manufacturer's instructions, connect equipment
so the flushing fluid flows in the opposite direction
of normal fluid flow.
2. Flush oil cooler/lines until discharge fluid is clean.
Caution
•If the cooler can not be properly flushed
using recommended equipment, send the
radiator out for sublet cleaning or
replace.
Forward flushing
1. Connect power flushing equipment so the flushing
fluid flows in the direction of normal fluid flow.
2. Flush oil cooler/lines until discharge fluid is clean.
