OIL AND OIL FILTER - REPLACEMENT

  • CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Precautions should be taken when replacing engine oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact with used engine oil. Protective clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil should be worn. The skin should be washed with soap and water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil thoroughly. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
In order to protect the environment, used oil and used oil filters must be disposed of at designated disposal sites.

7. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL

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

Check that the engine oil level is between the low level and full level marks on the dipstick.


If low, check for leakage and add oil up 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.
When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine.
If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used.
When driving at high engine speed or with a heavy load, (when towing, or), when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently.
When leaving the 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.
8. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK

Start the engine. Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the area that was worked on.

9. INSTALL ENGINE UNDER COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY LH

Install the No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly LH with the 5 bolts.
