Maintenance: Service Precautions

Engines With Turbocharger:

When the oil and oil filter have been changed, note the following points after starting the engine for the first time:
- Leave the engine idling and do not press the accelerator until the oil pressure warning lamp in the dash panel insert goes out. Pressing the accelerator could cause serious damage to the turbocharger.
- The warning lamp will not go out until the full oil pressure has built up. Do not press the accelerator until the light has gone out.

Finally, check the engine oil level.
