used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove oil ®ller cap and drain plug.
3. Drain oil and ®ll with new engine oil.

Checking Power Steering Fluid and Lines
+Check ¯uid level with engine off.
+Check ¯uid level with dipstick on reservoir cap. Use ``HOT''
range at ¯uid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF). Use
``COLD'' range at ¯uid temperatures of 0 to 30ÉC (32 to 86ÉF).
CAUTION:
+Do not over®ll.
+Recommended ¯uid is Automatic Transmission Fluid type
``DEXRON
TMIII'' or equivalent.
+Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, cha®ng or deterioration.
+Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering ¯uid.
Checking Steering Damper
Check steering damper for damage and oil leakage.
Checking Steering Gear Box and Linkage
STEERING GEAR
+Check gear housing and boots for looseness, damage or
grease leakage.

Checking and Adjusting Drive Belts
Refer to MA section (``Checking Drive Belts'', ``ENGINE MAINTE-
NANCE'').
Checking Fluid Level
Check ¯uid level.
Use the correct range of the dipstick depending on the ¯uid tem-
perature. Use the ``HOT'' range at 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF), or the
``COLD'' range at 0 to 30ÉC (32 to 86ÉF).
CAUTION:
+Do not over®ll.
+Recommended ¯uid is Automatic Transmission Fluid type
DEXRON
TMIII or equivalent.
Checking Fluid Leakage
Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, cha®ng and deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of ¯uid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80ÉC
(140 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ``lock'' position for ®ve seconds and
carefully check for ¯uid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If ¯uid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen ¯are nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
