LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE

1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface. C
• Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating D
use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Apply liquid gasket to the liquid gasket application surface.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent. E
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating component.
• If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.
• After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant. F

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and check that the engine oil level is within
the range (A) shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.

PBIC3309J

ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

• Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
• If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.
• Oil pan (upper and lower)
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil temperature sensor (Except for India)
• Oil filter
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Front cover
• Mating surface between cylinder head and camshaft bracket
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Mating surface between cylinder head and water outlet
• Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Never get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
• When checking engine oil pressure, shift position should be “Parking position”, and apply parking
brake securely.
1. Check engine oil level.

4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high. I

Engine oil pressure : Refer to LU-12, "Engine Oil Pressure".

J
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leakage.
6. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine. K
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.

WARNING:
• Never get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin
contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as O
soon as possible.
1. Warm up the engine, and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer to LU-6, "Inspec-
tion". P

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and check that the engine oil level is within
the range (A) shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.

PBIC3309J

ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

• Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
• If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.
• Oil pan (upper and lower)
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil filter
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Front cover
• Mating surface between cylinder head and camshaft bracket
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
• When checking engine oil pressure, shift position should be “Parking position”, and apply parking
brake securely.
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and
remove oil pressure switch using a deep socket (commercial
service tool).
