Oil And Oil Filter Replacement

Remove the 4 bolts and rear engine under cover assembly.

Remove the oil filler cap assembly.

Remove the oil pan drain plug and gasket, and then drain the engine oil into a container.

Clean and install a new gasket and the oil pan drain plug.

Torque:

40 N*m{408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf}

Detach the 3 clamps to disconnect the wire harness.

Remove the bolt and wiring harness clamp bracket.

Using SST, remove the oil filter sub-assembly.

HINT:

1. Before removing the oil filter sub-assembly, place cloth where the oil may splash.
   

1. Use a container to catch the draining engine oil.
   

Check and clean the oil filter sub-assembly installation surface.

Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter sub-assembly.

Lightly screw the oil filter sub-assembly into place by hand. Tighten it until the gasket contacts the seat.

Using SST, tighten the oil filter sub-assembly.

Depending on the space available, choose from the following.
If enough space is available, use a torque wrench to tighten the oil filter sub-assembly.

Torque:

12 N*m{122 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf}

If enough space is not available to use a torque wrench, tighten the oil filter sub-assembly 3/4 of a turn by hand or with a common wrench.

Install the wiring harness clamp bracket with the bolt.

Torque:

13 N*m{131 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf}

Attach the 3 clamps to connect the wire harness.

Add new engine oil and install the oil filler cap assembly.

Oil Grade:

Oil Grade	Oil Viscosity (SAE)
ACEA C2 (Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter)	- 0W-30 - 5W-30

Standard Capacity:

Item	Specified Condition
Drain and refill without oil filter sub-assembly change	7.0 liters (7.4 US qts, 6.2 Imp. qts)
Drain and refill with oil filter sub-assembly change	7.5 liters (7.9 US qts, 6.6 Imp. qts)
Dry fill	8.0 liters (8.5 US qts, 7.0 Imp. qts)

Start the engine. Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the areas that were worked on.

Warm up the engine, and then stop the engine and wait 5 minutes.

Check that the engine oil level is between the engine oil level dipstick low level mark and full level mark.
If the engine oil level is low, check for leaks and add engine oil to the full level mark.

NOTICE:

Do not fill engine oil above the full level mark.

HINT:

A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.

1. When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine.
   

1. If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used.
   

1. When driving at a high engine speed or with a heavy load, when towing, or when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently.
   

1. When idling for a long time, or when driving frequently through heavy traffic.
   

When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.

Install the rear engine under cover with the 4 bolts.
