Engine lubrication
Oil pressure is generated by a gear-type pump bolted to the
bottom oi the engine block. The oil pump is chain driven off
the front of the crankshaft.
Table a. Engine oil capacity (includes oil filter replacement)
6-cylinder 6.5
liters (6.9
US qt)
V-8 7.5 liters (7.9 US qt)
The oil pressure warning system consists of an oil pressure
switch mounted in the oil circuit and an instrument
panel
warning light. Other saiety features include:
Q A filter bypass to provide lubrication should the oil filter be-
come clogged.
An oil pump pressure relief valve to prevent excessive sys-
tem pressure.
CAUTIOI\C
If the red oil pressure warning light comes on or flashes on
while driving, always assume that the oilpressure is low. Stop
the engine immediately and make arrangements to test oil
pressure.

- Lower front suspension and remove oil pan, as described
earlier, to gain access to oil pump.
Remove oil pump
sprocket mounting nut (left-hand thread)
(arrow). Lift sprocket off together with drive chain.
Engines produced to 9/98: Remove oil pump with pick-up
tube. Pick-up tube is bolted to side of oil pump.
Engines produced from 9/98 to 01/00: Remove pick-up
tube, scraper tray and oil pump as a unit.
Engines produced from 01/00: Remove oil pump pick-up
tube bolts and remove pick-up tube before removing pump.
Remove mounting bolts from oil pump. Withdraw pump.
NOTE-
Record location of any spacers between pump and engine
bloclc Note positions of locating dowels.
- Remove cover from oil pump and check for wear or scoring.
Spin oil pump shaft and
check that gears turn smoothly. Re-
place pump if gears spin with difficulty
orany wear is present.
- Inspect oil pressure relief valve as described later.
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Replace pick-up tube O-ring (if applicable).
- Align sprocket splines to oil pump shaft spl~nes before
tightening sprocket nut.
- After adding engine oil, start and run engine. Raise engine
speed to 2,500 rpm until oil pressure warning light goes out
(about 5 seconds).

Oil pump, removing and installing (V-8)
CAUTION-
V8 engines: The oil pump fasteners (including the sprocket
retaining nut) are known to vibrate loose. This can result in oil
starvation and engine failure. Be sure to
checlc oil bolts and
nut tighness whenever the oil pump is accessible. If any fas-
teners are found to be loose, remove them and reinstall with
Loctite
8 and torque to specifications.
- Remove upper oil pan, as described earlier, to gain access to
oil pump.
