2007 KIA CARNIVAL check oil

c.In order to preserve environment, used oil or used oil filter must be disposed only at designated disposal
sites.
1. Park the car on a level ground.
Start the engine and let it warm up.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Drain engine oil.
(1) Remove the oil filler cap.
(2) After lifting the car, remove the oil drain plug(A) and drain oil into a container.
4. Replace the oil filter.
(1) Remove the oil filter(B).
(2)Check the part number of a new oil filter is as the same as that of the old one.
(3) Replace the oil filter.
(4) Tighten it slightly until the o - ring of the filter cap contacting on its position.
(5) Tighten it with the specified torque.
Tightening torque
16.7 ~ 24.5Nm(1.7 ~ 2.5kgf.m, 12.3 ~ 18.1lb- ft)
5. Refill with engine oil.
(1) Install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.

Capacity
Total : 4.8 L (5.07 US qt, 4.22 lmp qt)
Oil pan : 4.2 L (4.43 US qt, 3.69 lmp qt)
Drain and refill including oil filter : 4.5 L (4.75 US qt, 3.95 lmp qt)
Oil quality : ABOVE API SJ / SL or SAE 5W- 20
(3) Install the oil filler cap and the oil level gauge.
6. Start the engine and ensure that no oil is leaking from the drain plug or the oil filter.
7. Recheck engine oil level.
INSTALLATION
Oil pump case
1. Assembly the relief spring(B) and the relief plunger(C) and tighten the plug(A).

Always use a new O - ring.
8. Install the timing belt, the generator and the front muffler.
9. Install the front right side cover and the wheel and tire.
10. Fill with engine coolant.
11. Start engine and check for leaks.
12. Recheck engine coolant level.
INSPECTION
1.Check engine oil quality.
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace oil.
2. Check the engine oil level.
After warning up the engine, make the engine stand still for five minutes or more. The oil level should be between
the 'L' and 'F' marks on the dipstick, then.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.
Do not fill with engine oil above the "F" mark.
SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL
Recommended API classification : Above SJ or SL
Recommended SAE viscosity grades : 5W- 20

For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which :a. Satisfy the requirement of the API classification.
b. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range.
Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and API service classification on the container should
not be used.
RELIEF SPRING
1.Check the relief plunger.
Apply engine oil on the plunger and check that it moves smoothly in the hole. If it does not, replace the plunger or
the front case only in necessary cases.
2. Check the relief valve spring.
Check deformation or damage of the relief valve spring.
Specification
Free length : 43.8mm(1.7244in.)
Load : 36.3N(3.7kg, 8.21b)±3.9N(0.4kg, 0.9lb) / 40.1mm(1.5787in.)
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
1.Check the continuity between the terminal and the body with an ohmmeter.
If there is no continuity, replace the oil pressure switch.

2.Check the continuity between the terminal and the body when its hole is pushed by a fine rod(A). If there is
continuity with pressed, replace the switch.
3.If there is no continuity when the pressure 49.3kpa (0.5kg/cm², 7.11psi) is applied through the oil hole, the switch
is operating properly.
Check for air leakage. If air leaks, the diaphragm is broken. Replace the switch.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
SPARK TEST
1. Remove the ignition coil connector(A).
Disconnect the iguition coil connector while pulling up tre connector lock.
2. Remove the ignition coil.
3. Using a spark plug socket, remove the spark plug.
4. Install the spark plug to the ignition coil.
5. Ground the spark plug to the engine.
6.Check is spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
To prevent fuel being injected from injectors while the engine is being cranked, remove the fuel pump(A) relay
from the fuse box.
Crank the engine for no more than 5 ~ 10 seconds.
7. Inspect all the spark plugs.
8. Using a spark plug socket, install the spark plug.
9. Install the ignition coil.
10. Reconnect the ignition coil connector.

2.Check that there is no continuity between the slip rings and the rotor (B) or rotor shaft (C).
3. If the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.
INSPECT STATOR
1.Check that there is continuity between each pair of leads (A).
2.Check that there is no continuity between each lead and the coil core.
3. If the coil fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.

STARTER CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING
The battery must be in good condition and fully charged.
1. Remove the fuel pump relay(A) from the fuse box.
2. With the shift lever in N or P (A/T) or clutch pedal pressed (M/T), turn the ignition switch to "START"
If the starter normally cranks the engine, starting system is OK. If the starter will not crank the engine at all, go to
next step.
If it won't disengage from the ring gear when you release key, check for the following until you find the cause.
a. Solenoid plunger and switch malfunction.
b. Dirty pinion gear or damaged overrunning clutch.
3. Check the battery condition. Check electrical connections at the battery, battery negative cable connected to the
body, engine ground cables, and the starter for looseness and corrosion. Then try starting the engine again.
If the starter cranks normally the engine, repairing the loose connection repaired the problem. The starting system
is now OK.
If the starter still does not crank the engine, go to next step.
4. Disconnect the connector from the S- terminal of solenoid. Connect a jumper wire from the B- terminal of solenoid to
the S- terminal of solenoid.
If the starter cranks the engine, go to next step.
If the starter still does not crank the engine, remove the starter, and repair or replace as necessary.
5. Check the following items in the order listed until you find the open circuit.
a. Check the wire and connectors between the driver's under - dash fuse/relay box and the ignition switch, and
between the driver's under - dash fuse/relay box and the starter.
b. Check the ignition switch (Refer to BE group - ignition system)
c. Check the transaxle range switch connector or ignition lock switch connector.
d. Inspect the starter relay.
STATER SOLENOID TEST
1.Disconnect the field coil wire from the M- terminal of solenoid switch.
2. Connect the battery as shown. If the starter pinion pops out, it is working properly. To avoid damaging the starter,
do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
3.Disconnect the battery from the M terminal.
If the pinion does not retract, the hold- in coil is working properly. To avoid damaging the starter, do not leave the
battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
