3.1 Engine Oil
The procedure outlined below is typically the same for both rear wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles.
Check
The following procedure is applicable to both rear wheel and all wheel drive vehicles
1 Run the engine to bring it to normal operating temperature.
2 Park the vehicle on a level surface. A vehicle that is not level will affect the accuracy of the level reading.
3 Stop the engine and wait 5 to 10 minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
4 Remove the oil level indicator (1) and wipe clean.
5 Insert the indicator, ensuring it is fully seated.
6 Slowly remove the indicator to avoid smearing. Hold it horizontally or with lower end slightly down to avoid
oil running along indicator.
7 Observe the oil level where it passes over the centre line of the indicator.
8 If the level is lower than the Add mark (2), add enough oil to the engine to reach the Upper mark (3).
Do not add too much oil as the reading should never
be above the Upper mark.
NOTE
When topping up the oil, allow approximately 5
to 10 minutes for the added oil to fully drain into
the oil pan.
Figure 6A1 – 23
Replace
NOTE
• Quicker and more complete draining will
occur if the engine oil is at normal operating
temperature. However, care must be taken to
avoid scalding from the hot oil.
• It recommended the oil filter be changed at
each engine oil change, refer to 3.2 Oil
Filter.
1 Remove the oil fill cap.
2 To ensure complete draining of the oil pan, raise the front and rear of the vehicle to maintain a level attitude. If not using a hoist, support the vehicle with safety stands, refer to 0A General Information.
3 Clean any foreign material from around the oil drain plug and place a suitable, clean drain tray under the engine.
The oil may be hot. Avoid contact with the oil.
Ensure that eyes and skin are protected.
4 Remove the drain plug (1), taking care to avoid scalding from the hot oil. Allow the oil to drain.
5 Clean and inspect the drain plug threads. If damaged, replace the drain plug.

1 General Information
The HFV6 engine features a closed vee, deep skirt die cast aluminium cylinder block with cast iron cylinder liners,
internally balanced crankcase, full length wa ter jackets and six bolt main bearing caps.
The cylinders are arranged in two banks of three with a 60 degree included angle between the two banks.
The right-hand bank of cylinders consists of number 1-3-5
cylinders and the left-hand bank of cylinders consists of
number 2-4-6.
The engine firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6.
Each aluminium cylinder head is fitted with hardened valve
seats and four valves per cylinder: two intake and two
exhaust.
The valves are operated by two camshafts (DOHC) per
cylinder bank, one each for intake and exhaust valves.
The crankshaft is manufactured from forged steel. A reluctor
wheel is pressed in place onto the rear of the crankshaft for
the crankshaft position sensor.
The connecting rods are m anufactured from powdered
metal and the rod cap is separ ated during the manufacturing
process using the fractured me thod. This creates a stronger,
visually seamless rod to cap union.

4.3 Barometric Pressure Sensor
The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor measures
barometric (atmospheric) pressure. The ECM uses this
signal to make corrections to the operating parameters of
the system based on changes in air density, since the
oxygen content of atmospheric air varies proportionally to air
density (barometric / atmospheric pressure). Barometric
pressure is affected mainly by altitude and climate.
The BARO sensor provides a voltage signal to the ECM that
is a function of barometric pressure. It does this through a
series of deformation resistors, which change resistance
when a mechanical force is applied. This force is applied to
the resistors by a diaphragm on which the atmospheric
pressure acts.
The ECM supplies the BARO sensor with a 5 V reference
and a ground circuit.
Figure 6C1-1 – 14
4.4 Camshaft Position Sensor
The HFV6 engine is fitted with an inlet camshaft position
(CMP) sensor.
The CMP sensor is used by the ECM to determine the
position of the camshafts. In conjunction with the crankshaft
position sensor, the CMP enables the ECM to determine
engine rotational position.
Figure 6C1-1 – 15
The CMP sensor operates on the dual-Hall sensing
principle. The sensor contains two hall elements (1) which
operate in conjunction with a two-track trigger wheel (2)
mounted on the camshaft.
As the tracks (3) on the trigger wheel pass the elements,
magnetic flux affects a voltage in the Hall elements. The
integrated circuit inside the sensor conditions the signal
generated by the Hall elements to provide a rectangular
wave on / off signal to the ECM.
The ECM supplies the CMP sensors with a 5 V reference
and ground circuit.

opens fluid circuits. It is also referred to as a check valve.
Clutch Pack An assembly of components generally consisting of clutch plates, an apply plate and a
backing plate.
Clutch Plate A hydraulically activated component that has two basic designs: (1) all steel, or (2) a
steel core with friction material bonded to one or two sides of the plate.
Control Valve Body A machined metal casting that contains valve trains and other hydraulically controlled components that shift the transmission.
Coupling Speed The speed at which a vehicle is travelling and no longer requires torque multiplication through the torque converter. At this point, the stator 'free wheels' to allow fluid leaving
the turbine to flow directly to the pump. (Also see Torque Converter).
De-energise(d) To interrupt the electrical current that flows to an electronically controlled device,
making it electrically inoperable.
Direct Drive A condition in a gears set where the input speed and input torque equals the output
speed and output torque. The gear ratio through the gear set is 1:1.
Downshift A change in a gear ratio where both input speed and torque increases.
Duty Cycle In reference to an electronically controlled solenoid, it is the amount of time (expressed
as a percentage) that current flows through the solenoid coil.
Energise(d) To supply a current to an electronically controlled device, enabling it to perform its
designed function.
Engine Compression Braking A condition where compression from the engine is used with the transmission to decrease vehicle speed.
Exhaust The release of fluid pressure from a hydraulic circuit. (The words 'exhausts' and
'exhausting' are also used and have the same intended meaning.)
Fail-safe Mode A condition whereby a component (i.e. engine or transmission) will partially function even if its electrical circuit is disabled.
Fluid In this Section of the Service Manual, 'fluid' refers primarily to automatic transmission
fluid (or ATF) and, for the Hydra-matic 4L60E transmission, the only recommended
fluid is Dexron

Gear A round, toothed device that is used for transmitting torque through other components.
Gear Range A specific speed to torque ratio at which the transmission is operating (i.e. 1st gear,
2nd gear etc.).
Gear Ratio Revolutions of an input gear as compared to the revolutions of an output gear. It can
also be expressed as the number of teeth on a gear as compared to the number of
teeth on a gear that it is in mesh with.
Hydraulic Circuit A fluid passage which often includes the mechanical components in that circuit
designed to perform a specific function.
Input A starting point for torque, revolutions or energy into another component of the
