TANK OIL LEVEL CHECK


APPLIED MODEL: 1990 & 1991 300ZX Turbo (Z32) Equipped with HICAS System.


SERVICE INFORMATION:


On some 1990 & 1991 300ZX Turbo vehicles equipped with the HICAS System, the warning lamp may erroneously illuminate when the engine is cold. This is because the oil level varies based upon the oil temperature.


The method for checking the HICAS oil level has been modified to prevent the erroneous operation of the warning lamp.


CAUTION:


^ Do not overfill.

^ Recommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid "Dexron" type.

^ Note that the fluid level will vary with fluid temperature by approximately 1 mm/5~C (0.04 in/9~F) due to changes in fluid volume.



1. Check the oil level exactly because it varies with oil temperature.

2. Maintain the fluid level so that the lower surface of the float is maintained between the "L" and "H" marks on the gauge rod, as shown in the illustration below. The fluid level should be checked when the engine is stopped and the fluid temperature is about 30~C (86~F).

3. If the fluid level is below the "L" line, add fluid up to the "H" line.
