1. Pull out the oil dipstick, clean off the engine oil on the oil dipstick, and then reinsert the oil dipstick.
2. Pull out the oil dipstick, and check the engine oil level is within the marks on one side of the oil dipstick (engine cover side). NOTE: Checking the oil might be difficult shortly after stopping the engine or engine oil replacement. If difficult, take some time (approx. 30 sec.) and try again. Refer to the information label indicating the engine oil check process on the rocker cover.
3. Check that the engine oil is not excessively dirty, that there is no coolant or gasoline mixed in, and that it is sufficiently thick and slippery.

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 engine room under cover extension. (Refer to «UNDER COVER»(ref-289387-S33328341892008063000000) ).
4. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
5. 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) CAUTION: Do not use conventional petroleum based motor oil. Using conventional motor oil may cause engine or turbocharger damage. Do not used "blends" of conventional oil and synthetic oil. If engine oil other than 5W-30 is used, the engine may be seized by poor lubrication.
6. Refill the specified quantity of oil. Specified Engine Oil: Engine oils displaying ILSAC certification symbol ("Starburst" symbol) or conforming to the API classification SM or higher Total quantity: 5.6 dm 3 (5.9 quarts)
7. Install the engine oil filler cap.
8. Let the engine run for a few minutes.
9. Stop the engine, and then check the oil level using the oil dipstick after a few minutes.
10. Install the engine room under cover extension. (Refer to «UNDER COVER»(ref-289387-S33328341892008063000000) ).

7. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter.
8. Screw on the oil filter by hand until it touches the surface of the flange and then tighten it with an oil filter wrench. TIGHTENING TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS Number Special tool Tightening torque MD356000 MB991610 or equivalent Approximately 3/4 turn [14 ± 2 N.m (124 ± 17 in-lb)]
9. Install the drain plug and refill engine oil. (Refer to «ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT»(ref-289386-S22287279912008063000000) ).
10. Rev the engine a few times, and check to be sure that no engine oil leaks at the oil filter.
11. Install the engine room under cover extension. (Refer to «UNDER COVER»(ref-289387-S33328341892008063000000) ).

1. Check engine oil level.
2. Remove the engine oil pressure switch. (Refer to «OIL PRESSURE SWITCH REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-289386-S14973234272008063000000) .)
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. Install the engine oil pressure switch. (Refer to «OIL PRESSURE SWITCH REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-289386-S14973234272008063000000) .)
