1. Drain the engine oil (see «ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT»(ref-360265-S13171749412010042800000) ).
2. Remove the oil filter with the oil filter wrench.
3. Inspect the filter to make sure the rubber seal is not stuck to the oil filter seating surface of the engine.
4. Inspect the threads (A) and the rubber seal (B) on the new filter. Clean the seat on the oil pan, then apply a light coat of new engine oil to the filter rubber seal. Use only filters with a built-in bypass system.
5. Install the oil filter by hand.
6. After the rubber seal seats, tighten the oil filter clockwise with the oil filter wrench. Tighten: 3/4 Turn Clockwise Tightening Torque: 12 N.m (1.2 kgf.m, 8.8 lbf.ft)
7. If four numbers or marks (1 to 4 or delta to deltadeltadeltadelta) are printed around the outside of the filter, you can use the following procedure to tighten the filter. Spin the filter on until its seal lightly seats against the oil pan, and note which number or mark is at the bottom. Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise three numbers or marks from the one you noted. For example, if mark delta is at the bottom when the seal is lightly seated, tighten the filter until the mark deltadeltadeltadelta comes around the bottom.
8. After installation, fill the engine with oil up to the specified level, run the engine for more than 3 minutes, then check for oil leakage.

1. Remove the oil filter (see «ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT»(ref-360265-S13867516412010042800000) ).
2. Remove the oil filter feed pipe.
3. Install two 20 x 1.5 mm nuts (A) onto the new oil filter feed pipe. Hold one nut with a wrench, then tighten the other nut.
4. Tighten the oil filter feed pipe to 39 N.m (4.0 kgf.m, 29 lbf.ft), then remove the nuts from the oil filter feed pipe.
5. Install the oil filter (see «ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT»(ref-360265-S13867516412010042800000) ).

2. Remove the auto-tensioner, then install the support eyelet.
3. Install the engine support hanger (AAR-T1256), then attach the hook to the slotted hole in the support eyelet. Tighten the wing nut (A) by hand to lift and support the engine.
4. Remove the oil pan (see «OIL PAN REMOVAL»(ref-360295-S34464411812010042800000) ).

Scheme 24

1. Remove the screws from the pump housing, then separate the housing and the cover.
2. Check the inner-to-outer rotor radial clearance between the inner rotor (A) and the outer rotor (B). If the inner-to-outer rotor radial clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the oil pump. Inner Rotor-to-Outer Rotor Radial Clearance Standard (New): Service Limit: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.002-0.006 in) 0.20 mm (0.008 in)
3. Check the pump housing-to-rotor axial clearance between the rotors (A) and the pump housing (B). If the pump housing-to-rotor axial clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the oil pump. Housing-to-Rotor Axial Clearance Standard (New): 0.02-0.06 mm (0.001-0.002 in) Service Limit: 0.15 mm (0.006 in)
4. Check the pump housing-to-outer rotor radial clearance between the outer rotor (A) and the pump housing (B). If the pump housing-to-outer rotor radial clearance exceeds the service limit, replace the oil pump. Pump Housing-to-Outer Rotor Radial Clearance Standard (New): 0.100-0.175 mm (0.0039-0.0069 in) Service Limit: 0.20 mm (0.008 in)
5. Inspect both rotors and the pump housing for scoring or other damage. Replace parts, if necessary.
6. Check that the oil pump turns freely.

1. Clean the O-ring groove and the mating surface of the engine block.
2. Install the oil pump (A) with a new O-ring (B).
3. Install the oil screen (C) with a new gasket (D).
4. Install the oil pan (see «CKP PULSE PLATE REPLACEMENT»(ref-360295-S37144769832010042800000) ).
5. Support the engine with a jack and a wood block under the oil pan.
6. Remove the engine hanger and support eyelet, then install the auto-tensioner.
7. Install the cam chain (see «CAM CHAIN INSTALLATION»(ref-360277-S40371567552010042800000) ).

1. Raise the vehicle on the lift.
2. Remove the splash shield (see «SPLASH SHIELD REPLACEMENT»(ref-360308-S41260454582010042800000) ).
3. Remove the thermostat housing (see «THERMOSTAT HOUSING REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-360270-S12694621932010042800000) ).

Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket. NOTE: Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A). If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes. If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
