OIL FILTER
ENGINE LUBRICATION12-3
OIL FILTERM2120005000195
The oil filter is installed on the left side of the cylinder
block.
OIL PANM2120006000187
The oil pan is made of sheet metal and contains an oil sump in
the forward area of the engine.
FIPG (Formed-In-Place Gasket) is used to seal between the oil
pan and the ladder frame.

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER STEERING37-2
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2370000101003
FEATURES
A hydraulic power steering system has been adopted
to all models.
This steering system offers the following features:
•The support method of the steering gear to the
crossmember is realised by the left and right
internal bushings with inner cylinders. This sup
-
port method achieves higher rigidity of the steer-
ing gear and improves the steering feeling.
•Configuring the optimum flow characteristics and
gear valve feature improves the handling stability.
•Appropriate application of friction to the steering
gear cuts off the disturbance from the road sur
-
face and improves the stability during the
straight-ahead driving.
•Optimisation of the flexible tube in the high pres-
sure hose reduces the pump noise.

OIL PUMP
POWER STEERING37-6
Secondary collision
When the driver's body falls against the steering wheel via the
deployed air bag, the column bracket moves forward by
deforming the rivet pin of the one-way capsule, and simulta
-
neously the steering column assembly frees from the pin of col-
umn bracket to move forward and downwards.
OIL PUMPM2370004000373
The oil pump is a vane type with a fluid flow control
system which functions so the steering wheel turning
effort will be reduced at low engine speeds and
increase at higher speeds. The oil pump is essentially the same as the conven-
tional one in construction.
