OIL FILTER
The oil filter is an element type. Refer to ªChanging Oil Filterº in MA
section.
Oil Cooler
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Drain engine oil and coolant.
Remove catalyst and turbocharger. Refer to ªCATALYST AND
TURBOCHARGERº in EM section.
2. Remove bolts A to C then remove oil cooler assembly.
IDo not remove ªDº nuts when removing oil cooler assem-
bly.
Bolt length:
A: 20 mm (0.79 in)
B: 45 mm (1.77 in)
C: 65 mm (2.56 in)
3. Installation is in reverse order of removal.
IDo not spill coolant on the drive belt.
INSPECTION
1. Check oil cooler for cracks.
2. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through coolant inlet.
If necessary, replace oil cooler assembly.

Removal
WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND AIR CONDITIONER
BELT
1. Remove radiator shroud.
2. Contract and hold the auto tensioner using the following proce-
dure.
a. Securely hold the 19 mm (0.75 in) hexagonal portion A of auto
tensioner with a closed wrench.
IPreferably use a tool with a handhold of 500 mm (19.69 in) or
more in length.
INo bolts or nuts are required to be loosened during the opera-
tion.
b. Turn the hexagonal portion A in the direction shown by the
arrow to contract the damper unit of the auto tensioner.
CAUTION:
IBecause the tensioner has a high tension, it shall be
securely held and turned with a closed wrench.
IBecause the hexagonal portion A of the tensioner is made
of aluminum and may be damaged by sudden input, turn
it slowly according to the contraction of the damper unit.
3. Remove the belt from the alternator pulley first, and then
remove it from the other pulleys.
IIf the tensioner is not held firmly, your finger may get caught
between the belt and the pulleys. Confirm the holding of the
tensioner, and then hold the belt side in the place away from
the pulleys to attach or remove the belt, paying attention to
prevent your finger from being caught.
CAUTION:
IWhen handling the belt, pay attention to prevent the oil or
coolant from adhering to the belt.
IDo not distort or bend the belt intensively.
Installation
IInstall the belt in the reverse order of removal.
IAfter installation of the belt, confirm that the belt engages the
pulleys securely.
IDepending on the engagement between the belt and the idler
pulley, noise (belt noise) may be heard when the engine is
started just after installation. This noise will stop with time.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
IProlonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.

4. Measure frictional surfaces and projected portions of friction
disc, friction plate and spring plate.
If any part has worn beyond the wear limit, replace it with a new
one that is the same thickness as the projected portion.
Wear limit:
0.1 mm (0.004 in) or less
Adjustment
FRICTION DISC AND FRICTION PLATE END PLAY
End play of friction disc and friction plate can be calculated by using
the following equation and should be adjusted within the following
range.
Adjustment can be made by selecting friction disc having two dif-
ferent thicknesses.
End play E:
0.05 - 0.15 mm (0.0020 - 0.0059 in)
E=Aþ(B+C)
A: Length of differential case contact surface to differential
case inner bottom.
B: Total thickness of friction discs, friction plates, spring disc
and spring plate in differential case on one side.
C: Length of differential case contact surface to back side of
side gear.
1. Measure values of ªAº.
Standard length A:
49.50 - 49.55 mm (1.9488 - 1.9508 in)
