Home  id0111u3800200

Oil and Chemical Type

Warning

•  Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.

•  A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported on safety stands.

•  Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water immediately after working with engine oil.

Caution

•  When installing the oil pan, refer to the Oil Pan Installation Note and apply the silicone sealant correctly. If the silicone sealant application position is incorrect or there is any break in the application track, engine oil leakage will occur due to a poor seal.

1.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [(E)].)

2.  Remove the front under cover No.2. (See FRONT UNDER COVER No.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

3.  Remove the front splash shield (RH). (See SPLASH SHIELD REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

4.  Drain the engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (E))].)

5.  Remove in the order indicated in the table.

6.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

7.  Refill with the specified type and amount of the engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (E))].)

8.  Start the engine and confirm that there is no oil leakage.

•  If there is oil leakage, repair or replace the applicable part.

9.  Inspect the oil level. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (E))].)

Oil Pan Installation Note

1.  When replacing the oil pan, install the short-cord and a new engine oil level sensor. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (E))].)

2.  Completely clean and remove any oil, dirt, sealant or other foreign matter that may be adhering to the cylinder block and oil pan.

3.  When reusing the oil pan installation bolts, clean any old sealant from the bolts.

Caution

•  Apply the silicone sealant in a single, unbroken line around the whole perimeter.

•  To prevent silicone sealant from hardening, adhere the oil pan to the cylinder block within 10 min after silicone sealant is applied. Tighten the installation bolts completely soon after adhering.

•  Using bolts with the old silicone sealant adhering could cause cracks in the cylinder block.
