Front fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.

See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and
tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning adjusting screw.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of front fog lamp lens as shown at left.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge of the high intensity zone is 100 mm (3.94 in) below the height of
front fog lamp centers as shown at left.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover headlamps
and opposite front fog lamp.

Precautions for Liquid GasketABS005ZE
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Apply liquid gasket to the liquid gasket application surface. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL
PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating component.

If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten after mounting bolts and nuts the installation.

After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant.

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.
NOTE:
When checking the engine oil level, insert oil level gauge with its
tip aligned with oil level gauge guide on cylinder head. (In figure,
air cleaner case and air duct are removed.)
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 areas:

Oil pans (lower and upper)

Oil pan drain plug

Oil pressure switch

Oil filter

Oil filter bracket (AWD models)

Oil cooler

Water pump cover

Chain tensioner cover

Intake valve timing control cover and intake valve timing control solenoid valve

Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover

Mating surface between front timing chain case and rear timing chain case

Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder head

Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder block.

Mating surface between rear timing chain case and oil pan (upper)

Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

REMOVAL
WARNING:
Be careful not to get burn yourself, as engine oil and engine coolant may be hot.
NOTE:
When removing oil cooler only, step 2 is unnecessary.
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator and cylinder block. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" and
EM-123, "
DISASSEMBLY" .
NOTE:
Perform this step when removing water pipes.
3. Disconnect water hoses from oil cooler.

When removing oil cooler only, pinching water hoses near oil cooler to prevent engine coolant from
spilling out.

Remaining engine coolant in piping will come out. Use a tray to collect it.
CAUTION:

Perform this step when the engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
4. Using oil filter wrench [SST: KV10115801 (J38956)], remove oil filter. Refer to LU-10, "
OIL FILTER" .
CAUTION:
Do not spill engine oil on drive belts.
5. Remove connector bolt, and remove oil cooler.

CAUTION:
Do not spill engine oil to rubber parts such as drive belts and engine mounting insulator.
6. Remove water pipes, as necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Cooler
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through engine coolant inlet. If necessary,
replace oil cooler.
Relief Valve
Inspect relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks by pushing ball. If replacement is necessary, remove
relief valve by prying it out with a suitable tool. Install a new relief valve in place by tapping it.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Make sure that no foreign objects are adhering to the installation planes of oil cooler, oil pan (upper) (2WD
models) or oil cooler bracket (AWD models).
2WD Model
Align cutout on oil cooler with protrusion on oil pan (upper) side, and
tighten connector bolt.
AW D M od e l
Align cutout on oil cooler with protrusion on oil cooler bracket side,
and tighten connector bolt.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level and the engine coolant level and add engine oil and engine coolant. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL" and Refer to CO-11, "ENGINE COOLANT" .
2. Start the engine, and check there is no leaks of engine oil or engine coolant.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and the engine coolant level again. Refer to LU-7, "
