ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
(a) Warm up the engine, stop it and wait 5 minutes. The
oil level should be between the dipstick's low level
mark and full level mark.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full
level mark.
NOTICE:
Do not fill above the full level mark.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
(a) Check the oil for deterioration, water contamination,
discoloring or thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:
Use ILSAC multigrade engine oil. SAE 5W-30
engine oil may be used. However, SAE 5W-30
is the best choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
3. CHECK OIL PRESSURE
(a) Remove the engine under cover LH.
(b) Remove the engine under cover RH.
(c) Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.
(d) Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, remove the oil
pressure switch.
(e) Install the oil pressure gauge with adapter.
(f) Warm up the engine.
(g) Measure the oil pressure.
Standard oil pressure
If the oil pressure is not as specified, check the oil
pump (See page LU-13).
