Oil Pump: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION





1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thinning.
If oil quality is visibly poor, replace it.

Oil grade: API grade SH Energy-Conserving II or SJ, Energy-Conserving or ILSAC multigrade engine oil. SAE 5W-30 is the best chaise for your vehicle, for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.

2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the L and "F" marks on the dip stick.
3. CHECK OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the L and "F" marks on the level gauge. If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the F" mark.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the 'F mark.
When inserting the oil dipstick, insert the curved tip of the dipstick facing the same direction as the curve of the guide. If the dipstick gets caught while inserting it, do not force it in. Reconfirm the direction of the dipstick.
4. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH





Using Special Service Tools (SST), remove the oil pressure switch.
