id0111h3003000

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.

1.  Remove the battery cover. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)

3.  Remove the aerodynamic under cover No.2. (See AERODYNAMIC UNDER COVER NO.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

4.  Remove in the order indicated in the table.

5.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

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

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

Engine Oil Solenoid Valve Removal Note

1.  Cover the area around the engine oil solenoid valve with a rag because a small amount of engine oil will leak from the engine oil solenoid valve installation area.

Caution

•  Do not let any leaked engine oil to contact the adjacent water pump gasket and O-ring of the water inlet pipe. Otherwise, the gasket could swell causing a seal malfunction.

Engine Oil Solenoid Valve Installation Note

•  The tightening order for the three bolts is optional.

Oil Pressure Switch Installation Note

Caution

•  Be sure there is no sealant between 1.7—2.7 mm {0.07—0.10 in} from the end of the oil pressure switch to prevent a possible operation malfunction.

1.  Apply silicone sealant to the oil pressure switch threads as shown in the figure.
