ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, park vehicle on a level surface 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 (A) as shown.
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 areas:
Oil pan (upper and lower)
Oil pan drain plug
Oil pressure switch
Oil filter
Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
Front cover
Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WA RN ING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in “ Park position” (A/T models) and (CVT
models) or “Neutral position” (M/T models), and apply the parking brake securely.
1. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and
remove oil pressure switch using a suitable tool.

2. Install oil pressure gauge and hose.
3. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80°C (176°F)]
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.
6. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-46, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL
PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .
c. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
d. After warming up engine, make sure there are no engine leaks of oil with running engine.

WAR NIN G:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check for engine oil leakage from engine compo-
nents. Refer to LU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.Tool number : ST25051001 (J-25695-1)

4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug (2) with new washer. Refer to EM-24, "
Compo-
nents" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug (2) and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil.
Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
CAUTION:
The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature
and drain time. Use these specifications for reference
only.
Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper
amount of engine oil in the engine.
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug (2) and oil fil-
ter (3) for engine oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-5, "

Removal and InstallationEBS00T73
REMOVAL
1. Remove oil filter using Tool (A).
⇐ Front
CAUTION:
Oil filter is provided with relief valve. Use Genuine NIS-
SAN Oil Filter or equivalent.
Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil
may be hot.
When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any
engine oil leakage or spillage.
Do not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belt.
Completely wipe off any engine oil that adheres to engine and vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter installation surface.
2. Apply new engine oil to the oil seal contact surface of new oil fil-
ter.
3. Screw oil filter manually until it touches the installation surface,
then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-5, "ENGINE OIL" .
2. Start engine, and make sure there is no leaks of engine oil.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and adjust engine oil. Refer to LU-5, "
