3. Screw the oil filter manually until it touches the installation sur-
face, then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
4. Inspect the engine for oil leakage. Refer to LU-10, "
INSPEC-
TION AFTER INSTALLATION" .
5. Install the engine front undercover using power tool.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "OIL LEVEL" .
2. After warming up the engine, check for engine oil leakage.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check engine oil level and add engine oil. Refer to LU-7, "

WA RN ING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil and engine coolant are hot.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine front undercover using power tool.
2. Disconnect water hose, pinching hoses near oil cooler to prevent engine coolant from spilling.
CAUTION:
Do not spill engine coolant on the drive belt.
3. Remove oil filter. Refer to LU-10, "
Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:
Do not spill engine oil on the drive belts.
4. Remove connector bolt, and remove oil cooler.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Cooler
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing compressed air through engine coolant
inlet. If necessary, replace oil cooler assembly.
Relief Valve
Inspect relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks by pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove
valve by prying it out using suitable tool. Install a new valve in place by tapping it.

(position 5) using suitable tool.Clearance between outer rotor and oil
pump body (position 1)
: 0.114 - 0.200 mm (0.0045 - 0.0079 in)

(Clearance) = (Inner diameter of oil pump body) - (Outer diameter of inner rotor)
Regulator Valve Clearance
Check regulator valve to oil pump cover clearance as follows:
(Clearance) = D1 (Valve hole diameter) - D2 (Outer Diameter
of valve)
CAUTION:
Coat regulator valve with engine oil.
Check that it falls smoothly into the regulator valve hole
by its own weight.
