1.

CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY

Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:
API CF- -4 or CF (You may also use API CE or CD)
If you use SAE 10W--30 or higher viscosity oil in extremely low
temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start, so SAE
5W--30 engine oil is recommended.
2.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

After warming up the engine and then 5 minutes after the en-
gine stops, oil level should be between the "L" and "F" marks of
the dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.
NOTICE:
Do not fill with engine oil above the "F" mark.
3.

CHECK OIL PRESSURE

(a) Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, remove the oil pres-
sure switch.
(b) Install an oil pressure gauge.
(c) Allow the engine to warm pu to normal operating tempera-
ture.
(d) Check the oil pressure.
Oil pressure:
At idle
At 3,000 rpm
(e) Remove the oil pressure gauge.
(f) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.
Adhesive:
Part No. 08833- -00080, THREE BOND 1344, LOCTITE
242 or equivalent
(g) Reinstall the oil pressure switch.
(h) Start the engine and check for oil leak.
