OIL PUMP

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Oil Pump Clearance

Measure the clearance with feeler gauge.
–Clearance between oil pump outer rotor and oil pump body
(Position “1”)
–Tip clearance between oil pump inner rotor and oil pump outer
rotor (Position “2”)

Measure the clearance with feeler gauge and straightedge.
–Side clearance between oil pump inner rotor and oil pump body
(Position “3”)
–Side clearance between oil pump outer rotor and oil pump body
(Position “4”)

Calculate the clearance between oil pump inner rotor and oil pump body as follows:
OIL PUMP BODY INNER DIAMETER
–Measure the inner diameter of oil pump body with inside
micrometer. (Position “5”)
OIL PUMP INNER ROTOR OUTER DIAMETER
–Measure the outer diameter of protruded portion of oil pump
inner rotor with micrometer. (Position “6”)
OIL PUMP INNER ROTOR TO OIL PUMP BODY CLEARANCE
–(Clearance) = (Oil pump body inner diameter) – (Oil pump inner rotor outer diameter)

If the measured/calculated values are out of the standard, replace oil pump assembly.Standard:
VQ23DE : 0.120 - 0.195 mm (0.0047 - 0.0077 in)
VQ35DE : 0.114 - 0.260 mm (0.0045 - 0.0102 in)
Standard:

Regulator Valve Clearance
(Clearance) = (Valve hole diameter) – (Regulator valve outer diame-
ter)

If calculated value out of the standard, replace oil pump assem-
bly.
CAUTION:

Coat regulator valve with engine oil.

Make sure that it falls smoothly into valve hole by its own
weight.
ASSEMBLY
Note the following, and assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.

Install oil pump inner rotor with the groove faced to oil pump
cover side.Standard:
VQ23DE : 0.025 - 0.070 mm (0.0010 - 0.0028 in)

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel.
Item Reference page
Windshield washer
fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.MA-25
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine.MA-30
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoir.MA-40
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines.—
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.—

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodic MaintenanceBLS0008Z
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km [18,000 miles]/year)
QR and VQ ENGINE
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace
[ ] = At the specified distance only
NOTE:

(1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto tensioner reading (for QR20DE engine) reaches the maximum
limit.

(3) First replace at 100,000 km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform “I”
(Checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.

(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.

(5) Perform only according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions” for models without Euro-OBD system.

Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL Reference page

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km [18,000 miles]/year)
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is
mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving conditions
A — Driving in dusty conditions
B — Repeatedly driving short distances
C — Towing a trailer or caravan
D — Extensive idling
E — Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either
extremely low or extremely high
F — Driving in high humidity or mountainous areas
G — Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials
H — Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert
I — Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas
