1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature of the coolant reaches 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F). WARNING: Use care as oil could be hot.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
4. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the direction shown in the illustration, and then tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 39 +/- 5 N. m (29 +/- 3 ft-lb)
5. Refill the specified quantity of oil. Specified Engine Oil: Engine oils displaying ILSAC certification symbol ("Starburst" symbol) or conforming to the API classification SL, SL/CF Total quantity: 4.3 dm 3 (4.5 quarts) NOTE: SAE 5W-20 engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum fuel economy and cold starting. If the ambient temperature is not within the usable temperature range of SAE 5W-20 shown in illustration, use SAE 10W-30 engine oil.
6. Install the engine oil filler cap.
7. Check oil level.

1. Check engine oil quantity. CAUTION: Since sealant is applied to the thread of the engine oil pressure switch, take care not to damage the engine oil pressure switch when removing it.
2. Use special tool MD998012 to remove the engine oil pressure switch. NOTE: Remove the terminal of oil pressure switch where special tool MD998012 is not fitted.
3. Install the engine oil pressure gauge. NOTE: Use a 1/8 pipe thread adapter.
4. Run the engine to warm it.
5. After the engine has been warmed up, check that engine oil pressure is within the standard value. Standard value: At idle: 29 kPa (4.2 psi) or more At 3,500 r/min: 294 - 686 kPa (43 - 100 psi)
6. Remove the engine oil pressure gauge.
7. Apply the specified sealant 3M™ AAD Part number 8672 or equivalent to the threads of the engine oil pressure switch. CAUTION: Do not start the engine within one hour after the engine oil pressure switch has been installed.
8. Use special tool MD998012 to tighten the engine oil pressure switch to the specified torque. Tightening torque: < 2.4L ENGINE > 19 +/- 3 N.m (14 +/- 2 ft-lb) < 3.8L ENGINE > 10 +/- 2 N.m (87 +/- 17 in-lb)
