SAFETY INFORMATION VEHICLE LIFT POSITIONS Front DYNAMOMETER Rear When test-running a vehicle on a dynamometer Place a fan, preferably a vehicle-speed proportional type, in front of the vehicle. Connect an exhaust gas ventilation unit. Cool the exhaust pipes with a fan. Keep the area around the vehicle uncluttered. Watch the water temperature gauge. COMPRESSED AIR When using compressed air to clean or remove parts / Wear protective eyewear. L- a Hold a rag over the opening to prevent parts from shooting out. Take precautions so that people around you are not struck by flying debris. Gartner Banana

ENGINE OIL D ENGINE OIL INSPECTION 1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground. 2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and stop it. 3. Wait for five minutes. 4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level and condi- tion. 5. Add or replace oil as necessary. Note The distance between the L and F marks on the dip- stick represents 0.8 L (0.85 US qt, 0.70 Imp qt}. REPLACEMENT Warning When the engine and the oil are hot, they can badly burn. Don't burn yourself with either. 1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and stop it. 2. Remove the oil filler cap and the oil drain plug. 3. Drain the oil into a container. 4. Install a new gasket and the drain plug. Tightening torque: 3041 N-m 13.0-4.2 kgf.m, 22-30 ft-lbf) 5. Refill the engine with the specified type and amount of engine oil. Oil replacement: 3.6 L 13.8 US qt, 3.2 Imp qt) 6. Refit the oil filler cap. 7. Run the engine and check for leaks. 8. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. Gartner Banana

OIL PAN NOTCH NOTCH I 05UODX-209 Steps After Installation 1. Install the undercover. Oil pan 1. Remove all foreign material from the contact surfaces. 2. Apply silicone sealant to the shaded areas shown in the figure. 3. Install new gaskets onto the oil pump body and the rear cover with the projections in the notches shown in the fig- ure. 4. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant to the oil pan along the inside of the bolt holes and overlap the ends. 5. Install the oil pan with five minutes. Tightening torque 0: 7.9-10.7 N.m (80-110 kgf-cm, 70-95 in4bf) @: 64-49 N.m (6.5-9.1 kgf-m, 48-45 ft-lbf) 2. Connect the negative battery cable. 3. Fill with the specified amount and type of engine oil. (Refer to page D-5.) 4. Start the engine and check for leaks. 5. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. Gartner Banana
