Selection Of Engine Oil
Recommendation: 5W-20/GF4&SM (If not available, refer to the recommended API or ILSAC classification.)
API classification: SL, SM or above
ILSAC classification: GF3, GF4 or above
SAE viscosity grade: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity number
Scheme 10
Note. For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which: Satisfy the requirement of the API or ILSAC classification. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range. Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and API or ILSAC service classification on the container should not be used.

- Remove the timing chain cover. (Refer to «REPAIR PROCEDURES - REVISED»(ref-537285-S12200510902013032200000) .
- Remove the oil pump cover (A). Tightening torque Screws: 5.9 ~ 8.8 N.m (0.6 ~ 0.9 kgf.m, 4.3 ~ 6.5 lb-ft) Bolts: 8.8 ~ 13.7 N.m (0.9 ~ 1.4 kgf.m, 6.5 ~ 10.1 lb-ft)
- Remove the inner rotor (A) and outer rotor (B).
- Installation is the reverse order of removal.

- Remove the relief plunger. Remove the plug (A), spring (B) and relief plunger (C). Tightening torque: 39.2 ~ 49.0 N.m (4.0 ~ 5.0 kgf.m, 28.9 ~ 36.2 lb-ft)
- Inspect the relief plunger. Coat the plunger with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly into the plunger hole by its own weight. If necessary, replace timing chain cover.
- Inspect the relief valve spring. Inspect for distortion or breakdown of the relief valve spring.
- Inspect the rotor side clearance. Using a feeler gauge and precision straight edge, measure the clearance between the inner rotors and precision straight edge. If the side clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors as a set. If necessary, replace the timing chain cover. Side clearance: 0.040 ~ 0.090 mm (0.00157 ~ 0.00354 in.)
- Inspect the rotor body clearance. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the outer rotor and body. If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors as a set. If necessary, replace the timing chain cover. Body clearance: 0.200 ~ 0.292 mm (0.00787 ~ 0.01150 in.)
- Inspect the rotor guide clearance. Measure the outer diameter of the inner rotor guide. Inner rotor diameter: 41.550 ~ 41.570 mm (1.63582 ~ 1.63661 in.) Measure the inner diameter of the timing chain cover hole. Timing chain cover hole diameter: 41.600 ~ 41.625 mm (1.63779 ~ 1.63878 in.) Check the clearance between the timing chain cover hole inner diameter and the inner rotor guide outer diameter. Guide clearance: 0.030 ~ 0.075 mm (0.00118 ~ 0.00295 in.)

- Remove the under covers. (Refer to «ENGINE AND TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY»(ref-537192-S30675217252013032200000) )
- Drain engine oil.
- Remove the oil pan (A). Unfasten the bolts. Insert the blade of SST (09215-3C000) between the lower crankcase and the oil pan. Separate the applied sealer and remove the oil pan. NOTE: Loosen one oil pan bolt near each corner of the oil pan leaving the bolts held in by about 2 threads. Then remove all other pan bolts. NOTE: Insert the SST between the oil pan and the lower crankcase by tapping it with a plastic hammer in the direction of (1) arrow. After tapping the SST with a plastic hammer along the direction of (2) arrow around more than 2/3 edge of the oil pan, remove it from the lower crankcase. Do not turn over the SST abruptly without tapping. It is result in damage of the SST. Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of the lower crankcase and the oil pan.
- Remove the oil screen (A) with the gasket (B).

- Install the oil screen (A) with a new gasket (B). Tightening torque Bolt: 19.6 ~ 26.5 N.m (2.0 ~ 2.7 kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 19.5 lb-ft) Nuts: 11.8 ~ 13.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.1 lb-ft)
- Install the oil pan. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces. The sealant locations on the oil pan and the lower crankcase must be free of harmful foreign materials, oil, dust and moisture. Spraying cleaner on the surface and wiping with a clean duster. After applying liquid sealant on the oil pan, assemble it within 5 minutes after sealant was applied. Continuous bead of sealant should be applied to prevent any path of oil leakage. Bead width Whole section: 4.0 ~ 5.0 mm (0.16 ~ 0.20 in.) Section A: 1.5 ~ 2.5 mm (0.06 ~ 0.10 in.) Sealant: Threebond 1217H CAUTION: When applying sealant gasket, sealant must not be protruded into the inside of oil pan. To prevent leakage of oil, apply sealant gasket on the inner threads of the bolt holes. If the sealant is applied to the bottom surface of the lower crankcase, it should be the same position as the oil pan. Install the oil pan (A). Uniformly tighten the bolts in several passes. Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft) CAUTION: After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil. CAUTION: Always use a new drain plug gasket.
- Refill engine with engine oil.

- Check the continuity between the terminal and the body with an ohmmeter. If there is no continuity, replace the oil pressure switch.
- Check the continuity between the terminal and the body when the fine wire is pushed. If there is continuity even when the fine wire is pushed, replace the switch.
- If there is no continuity when a 50 kPa (0.50 kgf/cm 2 , 7.25 psi) is applied through the oil hole, the switch is operating properly. Check for air leakage. If air leaks, the diaphragm is broken. Replace it.
