interval may void the emission control warranty coverage.
See

Oxvoen sensor to exhaust
manifold 50 Nrn (37 ft-lb)
NOTE-
A special soclet for replacing the oxygen sensor is available
from most automotive parts stores. The soclet has
a groove
cut down one side to allow the sensor to be installed without
damaging the wire harness.
Power steering fluid, checking level
The power steering system is permanently filled and does not
have a drain. Routinely adding ATF is not required unless the
system is leaking.
4 To check power steering fluid level in fluid reservoir:
Park car on level ground with engine off.
Level is correct
if it is between MlN and MAX marks on
dipstick.
If level is below
MlN mark, add fluid to reservoir to bring
level up.
* Hand-tighten reservoir cap.

Spark plugs
E39 models through model year 1998 were equipped with
spark plugs with two electrodes. These are gapped to
0.7 mm
(0.028 in) by the manufacturer and are not adjustable.
Starting with 1999 models, long life spark plugs with
3 or four
electrodes were used. These can be retroactively fitted to
earlier
models. The recommended spark plug replacement
interval
forthese is 100,000 miles.The electrode gap in these
spark plugs is not adjustable.

Maintenance
Spark plugs, replacing
E39 engines use a coil-over-spark plug configuration, with
one ignition coil above each spark plug. Sparks plugs should
be removed only after the engine has cooled.
Remove engine
cover(s) over ignition coils:
Remove acoustic cover over fuel injectors
I intake
manifold.
6-cylinder engine: Remove oil filler cap.
Remove plastic trim covers (arrows).
Remove cover hold-down bolts. Remove coil
cover(s)
6-cylinder engine: Temporarily reinstall oil filler cap to
keep out contaminants.
Remove ignition coil grounding harnesses (arrows). 6-cylin-
der coils shown,
V-8 engine is similar.
< Remove ignition coils:
Pull up on spring clips to disconnect ignition coil harness
connectors.
Remove coil mounting bolts. Pull coils up and off spark
plugs.
- Remove spark plugs.

1 Maintenance
- When replacing fuel filter:
Use appropriate hose clamping device to clamp off filter
inlet and outlet hoses to lessen fuel spillage.
Loosen center clamping bracket and hose clamps on
either end of filter.
Note arrow or markings indicating direction of flow on
new filter.
Install new filter using new hose clamps
- Drain fuel filter from inlet side into a container and inspect
drained fuel.
Checlc for rust, moisture and contamination.
I - I < If fuel filter is equipped with fuel pressure regulator:
I 2 / Remove vacuum hose (1)
Pull out locking clip (2).
- Remove fuel pressure regulator (3).
Install pressure regulator in new filter.
Clean thoroughly around the filler connections before
removing them.
After assembly, check filter connections carefully for
I
I lealcs before installing cover.
NOTE- ~-
Additional informarion about the fuel filler assembly is in 160
Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump.
Fuel tank and fuel lines, inspecting
lnspectthe fuel tank, fuel lines, and fuel system fordamage or
lealts. Checlc for fuel lealts in the engine compartment or fuel
odors in the passenger compartment. Check for any evapora-
tive emissions hoses that may have become disconnected,
checking carefully at charcoal canister and evaporative emis-
sions purge system. See
130 Fuel Injection and 160 Fuel
Tankand Fuel Pump for component locations and additional
information.
WARNING-
When checlcing for fuel leal(s, the engine must be cold. A hot
exhaust manifold or exhaust system could cause the fuel to
ignite or explode causing serious personal injury Ventilate
the work area and clean up spilled fuel immediately.

exist, they are noted at the be-
ginning of each step. Engine are referred to by engine
code. See

cation information.
@ Be sure to cover all painted surfaces before beginning the
removal procedure. As an aid to installation, label all com-
ponents, wires and hoses before removing them. Do not
reuse
gaskets, O-rings or seals during reassembly.
The
intake manifold must be removed on &cylinder mod-
els before the engine can be removed.
WARNING-
Due to risk of personal injury, be sure the engine is cold be-
fore beginning the removal procedure.
