1. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

1. Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. The oil level should be between the dipstick's low and full level marks.
   If the oil level is low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.

   NOTICE:
     Do not fill engine oil above the full level mark.

2. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY

1. Check the oil for deterioration, water contamination, discoloring or thinning.

   Oil grade:
     20W-50 and 15W-40
     API grade SJ or SL multigrade engine oil
     10W-30 and 5W-30
     API grade SJ "Energy - Conserving", SL "Energy - Conserving" or ILSAC multigrade engine oil

3. CHECK OIL PRESSURE

1. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.

1. Remove the oil pressure switch.

1. Install a oil pressure gauge.

1. Warm up the engine.

1. Check the oil pressure under the following conditions.

   Standard oil pressure:

     Condition | Specified Condition
     Idle | 29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.2 psi) or more
     3,000 rpm | 160 to 490 kPa (1.6 to 5.0 kgf/cm2, 23 to 71 psi) or more

1. Remove the oil pressure gauge.

4. INSTALL OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

1. Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.

   Adhesive:
     Part No. 08833-00080, THREE BOND 1344, LOCTITE 242 or equivalent

1. Install the oil pressure switch.

   Torque:
     15 N*m{ 153 kgf*cm , 11 ft.*lbf }

   NOTICE:
     Do not start the engine for at least 1 hour after installation of the switch.

1. Connect the oil pressure switch connector.

1. Start the engine and check for engine oil leaks.
