Engine Oil Pressure Check

Check the oil level and quality before checking the oil pressure.

1. Drain the engine oil.

2. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector and remove the switch.

3. Install the oil pressure gauge into the switch hole. Start the engine and let it run until the coolant temperature

reaches at normal operating temperature (80 ~ 90°C).

4. Raise the engine speed by 2000 rpm and measure the engine oil pressure.

Specified oil pressure

2.5 ~ 3.0 kg/cm

(2000 RPM)

5. Install the switch and engage the connector.

Tightening torque

120 ~ 160 kg/cm

Oil Separator

The first separation will happen when blow-by gas passes through baffle plates in cylinder head cover; then oil and gas
will be separated due to cyclone effect after entering the oil separator inlet port. Separated oil returns to oil pan via oil
drain port and the gas will be burnt again after entering the combustion chamber through air duct hose via PCV valve that
opens/closes due to pressure differences between the intake side and crankcase.

Oil drain (oil only)

(connected to oil pan through oil dipstick tube)

Outlet port (gas only)

(connected to air duct hose)

Inlet port (oil + gas)

(connected to cylinder head cover
through blow-by hose)

Notice

• Apply the Loctite onto the thread of the switch and

check for oil leaks.

ENGINE OIL CHANGE

Change interval: Initial change 5,000 km, Change every 10,000 km or 12 months

Engine Oil Changing Procedures

1. Park the vehicle on the level ground and warm up the

engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.

2. Stop the engine and wait around 5 minutes. Remove the

oil filler cap, oil filter and oil drain plug to drain the oil.

3. Install new oil filter and tighten the drain plug with specified

tighten torque.

5. Close the oil filler cap and start the engine.

6. Stop the engine again and check the oil level. Add the engine oil if needed and check for the oil leaks.

Oil drain plug

25 ± 2.5 Nm

4. Fill the engine oil through the oil filler opening.

Frequently check and add if needed. Shorten the change interval under severe conditions.

* Severe condition:

- When most trips include extended idling and/or frequent low-speed operation as in stop-and-go traffic.

- When most trips are less than 6 km (Operating when outside temperatures remain below freezing and

when most trips are less than 16 km)

- When operating in dusty, sandy and salty areas

- In hilly or moutainous terrain

- When doing frequent trailer towing

Notice

Water separation from the fuel filter should be performed when changing the engine oil.

Notice

After driving, the engine oil temperature may be high
enough to burn you. Wait until the oil is cooled down.

Notice

• Over-tightening may cause oil leaks.

• Replace the drain plug washer with new one.

Notice

The oil should not go above the upper mark on the dipstick. This would lead, for example, to increased oil
consumption, fouling of the spark plugs and excessive formation of carbon residue.
