ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.

If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.

Oil pan

Oil pan drain plug

Oil pressure switch

Oil filter bracket

Oil cooler.

Oil pump housing

Va c u u m p u m p

Cylinder head rear cover assembly

Front and rear chain cases

Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.

Be sure to check oil pressure in “ Neutral position” and parking brake should be applied securely.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-20, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove RH engine undercover.
3. Remove exhaust front tube. Refer to EX-2, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .

OIL FILTER PFP:15208
Removal and Installation (TYPE A)EBS00B05
REMOVAL
1. Open oil filter installation/removal cover on RH engine undercover.
2. Using the oil filter wrench, remove oil filter.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil are hot.

When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any engine oil leakage or spillage.

Do not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belts.

Completely wipe off any engine oil that adhere to engine and vehicle.

Oil filter is provided with a relief valve.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter installation surface.
2. Apply new engine oil to the oil seal circumference of new oil fil-
ter.
3. Screw oil filter manually until it touches the installation surface, then tighten it by 1/2 turn. Or tighten to
specification.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Start engine, and check there is no leakage of engine oil.
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Check the engine oil level and add engine oil. Refer to LU-20, "
ENGINE OIL" .

INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid (A/T models).
Checking Radiator CapEBS00KOK
1. Pull negative-pressure valve to open it and make sure that it
closes completely when released.

Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of
radiator cap negative-pressure valve.

Make sure that there are no unusualness in the opening and
closing conditions of negative-pressure valve.
2. Check radiator cap relief pressure.

When connecting radiator cap to radiator cap tester (commer-
cial service tool) and radiator cap tester adapter (special ser-
vice tool), apply engine coolant to radiator cap seal surface.

Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness in negative-
pressure valve, or if the relief pressure falls below the limit.
Checking RadiatorEBS00KOL
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.

Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.

When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.

Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check if there is no significant dirt or rusting on water
pump body and vane.

Make sure that there is no looseness in vane shaft, and that it
turns smoothly when rotated by hand.

Replace water pump, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

When inserting water pipe end into cylinder block, apply a neutral detergent to O-ring. Then insert it imme-
diately.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for engine coolant leaks using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Place a string so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat and
water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with water.
Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows thermo-
stat.)

The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.

Continue heating. Check the full open valve lift amount.
NOTE:
The full open valve lift amount standard temperature for water
control valve is the reference value.

After checking the full open valve lift amount, lower the water
temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard:

If out of the standard, replace either or both thermostat and water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve

Install thermostat with making rubber ring groove fit to thermo-
stat flange with the whole circumference. (The example in the
figure shows thermostat.)
NOTE:
Same procedure is applied for installation of water control valve.

Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upwards. (The position
deviation may be within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the
figure.)

Install water control valve with the arrow facing up and the frame
center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may be
within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the figure.)
Heater Pipe Installation
Apply a neutral detergent to O-ring, then quickly insert the insertion part of heater pipe into cylinder block.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid (A/T models).
