Repair procedures
1. | Uplift the vehicle with lift. |
2. | Remove the engine room under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover") |
3. | Loosen the oil filler plug (A). ![](images/books/3027/spdmt12215e.gif)
|
4. | Check the oil level. •
| For the accuracy, inspect the oil level after the oil is completely drained. |
•
| Loosen the drain plug (A) and wait for over 10 minutes until the oil is drained enough. |
•
| Install the drain plug after drain the oil. Tightening torque: 58.9 - 78.5 N.m (6.0 - 8.0 kgf.m, 43.4 - 57.8 lb-ft) |

|
•
| After the inspection, inject the oil through the filler plug hole according to the specification. |
•
| Specified fluid : 1.5 - 1.6 L (0.40 - 0.42 U.S.gal., 1.58 - 1.69 U.S. qt., 1.32 - 1.40 lmp qt.) |
•
| While draining, some of the oil flows into the transmission part and the oil may be less than the specification by 0.1 - 0.15 L (0.03 - 0.04 U.S.gal., 0.10 - 0.16 U.S. qt., 0.09 - 0.13 lmp qt.) This is normal and additional oil injection is not required. |
|
|
5. | Injection the fluid and then tightening the filler plug (A) with new gasket. Tightening torque: 58.9 - 78.5 N.m (6.0 - 8.0 kgf.m, 43.4 - 57.8 lb-ft) |
