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

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WAR NING :
Be careful not to get burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch, and
remove oil pressure switch using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure switch.
Remove the oil pressure switch using a 26 mm (1.02 in) box
wrench. (AWD models)
4. Install the oil pressure gauge (SST) and hose (SST).
5. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When the engine oil temperature is low, the engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80
C (176 F)]
If difference is extreme, check engine oil passage and oil pump for engine oil leaks.
7. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:

Engine speed (rpm)
Approximate discharge pressure [kPa (kg/cm2 , psi)]
Idle speed More than 98 (1.0, 14)
