ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
(a) Warm up the engine, then stop the engine and wait

for 5 minutes.

(b) Check that the engine oil level is between the low

level and full level marks on the level gauge.
If low, check for leakage and top oil up to the full
level mark.
NOTICE:
Do not fill with engine oil to above the full level
mark.

2.

CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
(a) Check the oil for deterioration, water intrusion,

discoloration or thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:

Use ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 is not available, use SAE 10W-
30.
However, it should be replaced with SAE 5W-
30 at the next oil replacement.

3.

INSPECT OIL PRESSURE
(a) Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.

(b) Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, remove the oil

pressure switch.

(c) Install the oil pressure gauge.
(d) Warm up the engine.
(e) Inspect the oil pressure.

Oil pressure

(f)

Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure
switch.
Adhesive:

Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1344, Three Bond
1344 or the equivalent

(g) Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, install the oil

pressure switch.
Torque: 15 N*m (153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf)
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine within 1 hour of the
installation.

(h) Connect the oil pressure switch connector.
(i)

Check for engine oil leakage.

REPLACEMENT

CAUTION:
•

Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will
cause the removal of natural oils from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In
addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.

•

Precautions should be taken when replacing engine
oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact
with used engine oil.

•

Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or
use waterless hand cleaner to remove any used
engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.

•

For environmental protection, used oil and used oil
filters must be disposed of only at designated
disposal sites.

1.

DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove engine under cover seal No. 3.
(b) Remove the oil pan drain plug and drain the engine

oil.

(c) Clean the oil pan drain plug and install it with a new

gasket.
Torque: 40 N*m (408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf)

2.

REMOVE OIL FILTER SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the drain pipe cap.
(b) While removing the oil filter with SST, catch the oil

from the oil filter with a container.
