Engine Oil: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION 

1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY

Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil. 
Oil grade:

API grade SH Energy-conserving II or SJ, Energy Conserving or ILSAC multigrade engine oil. Recommended viscosity is as shown in
the illustration. If SAE 10W-30 or a higher viscosity engine oil is used in extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start,
so SAE 5W-30 engine oil is recommended.

2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

After warming up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine stop, oil level should be between the "L" and "F" marks on the dipstick.
If low. check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.

NOTICE:  Do not fill with engine oil above the "F" mark.

3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, AND INSTALL OIL PRESSURE GAUGE

a. Using Special Service Tool (SST), remove the oil pressure switch.

(SST) 09816-30010

b. Install the oil pressure gauge.

4. WARM UP ENGINE

Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.

5. CHECK OIL PRESSURE

Oil pressure:

At idle speed: 29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.3 psi) or more
At 3,000 rpm: 150 - 550 kPa (1.5 - 5.6 kgf/cm2, 22 - 80 psi)
