lnspection
Check engine oil with the engine off and ths cal
parked on level ground,
Make cenain that the oil level indicated on the dip-
stick is between the upper and lower marks.
lf the l€vel has dropped close to the lower mark, add
oil until it reaches the upper mark.
CAUTION: Inssrt lho dipstick carotully to avoid
bending it.

The following explains the procedure for tightening
filters using these numbers.
1 ) Make a mark on the cvlinder block under the num-
ber that shows al the bottom of the filter when
the rubber seal is seated.
2) Tighten the tilter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the marked point. For example, if
a mark is made under the number 2 when the tub-
ber seal is seated. the filter should be tightened
until the number 'l comes up to the marked point.

Oil Pressure
Testing
lf the oil pressure warning light stays on with the enginerunning, check the engine oil level. lf the oil level is
correct:
1. Connect a tachometer.
2. Remove the oil pressure switch and install an oil pres-
sure gauge.
3. Stan the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge
registers no oil pressure. Repair the problem before
continuing.
4. Allow the engine to reach operating temperatu,e {fancomes on at least twice). The Dressure should be:
Engine Oil Pressure:
At ldle: 70 kPa (0.7 kgf/cmr, 10 psi)
minimum
At 3,OOO lpm: 340 kPa {3.5 kgf/cmz, 50 psi}
minimum
a lJ oil pressure is within speciJications, replace the
engine oil pressure switch and recheck.
a lf oil pressure is NOT within specifications, in-
spect the oil pump (see page 8-1O).

Inspection (B18C1 engine only|
Remove the oil jet (see page 8-4) and inspect it as
follows.
a Make sure that a I .l mm (O.04 in) diameter drill
will go through the nozzle hole {1 .2 mm {O.OS in)
diameterl.
a Insert the other end of the same 1.1 mm (O.O4
in) drill into the oil intake {1.2 rnm {0.05 in}
diameter).
Make sure the check ball moves smoothlv and has
a stroke of approximately 4.0 mm {O. 16 in).a Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. lt
should take at least 2OO kPa (2.O kgf/cmr,28

NOTE: Replace the oiljet assembly if the nozzle
is damaged or bent.

Rcgulator Valve
The r€gulator valve maintains a constant hydraulic pressure from the oil pump to the hydraulic control system, whil€
alEo furnishing oil to the lubricating system and torque convener.
Oil flows through B and B'. The oil which enters through B flows thfough the valve orifice to A, pushing the regulator
valve to the right. Acco.ding to the level of hydraulic pressure through B, the position of the valve changes, and the
amount of the oil thlough D from B'thus changes. This operation is continued. thus maintaining the line pressure.
IEI{GINE ]IIOT RUNNINGI{ENGINE RUNNING)
Siator Reaction Hydtaulic Pressure Control
Hydraulic pressure increase, according to torque, is performed by the regulator vslve using stator torque reaction. Thestator shaft is splined to the stator and its a.m end contacts the fegulator spring cap. When the car is accelerating orclimbing (Torque Convener Range). stator torque reaction acts on the stator shalt and the stator shaft arm pushes thersgulator spring cap in this - direction in proportion to the reaction. The spring compresses and the regulator valve movesto increase the regulated control pressure or line pressure. Line pressure is maximum when the stator reaction is maximum.

Stall Speed
CAUTION:
a To plevent transmission damage, do not test stall speed fot mote than 1O seconds at a time.a Do not shift the level while raising th€ engine speed.a Be sure to remove the pressure gauge belot€ testing stall speed.
1. Engage the parking brake and block all four wheels.
2. Connect the tachometer, and start the engine.
3. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
4. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the cooling lan comes on), shift into ft position.
5. Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds. and note engine speed.6. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in [, fDil and @ positions.
NOTE:
a Stall speed tests should be used lor diagnostic purposes only.. Stall speed should be the same in E, tr. tr and @ positions.
