Oil Tube

Begin the replacement process by removing the air cleaner assembly together with the retaining bolt for the coolant recovery reservoir before placing the reservoir to the side. After accessing the oil level indicator from its tube proceed to take out the oil level indicator tube bolt which will allow you to remove the tube from the lower point. Examine the o-ring seal to check if it has any damage or cuts; this seal might be usable if it remains intact. To proceed with the oil fill tube work you should first take off the o-ring seal from the tube before uninstalling the lower oil fill tube bolt from the engine block. To install the o-ring seal you must first apply engine oil and put it on the lower oil level indicator tube after which the tube needs placement behind the Exhaust Manifold. Determine a secure position for the vehicle while you install the lower oil level indicator tube inside the block at the correct height before lowering the vehicle. Seal the oil level indicator tube by screwing in the bolt and torquing it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Secure the upper oil level indicator tube with the lower oil fill tube before placing it into the retaining bracket and tightening its bolt to 10 nm torque. Finish by repositioning the coolant recovery reservoir before installing its retaining bolt followed by the air cleaner assembly reinstallation.

Detach the top half of the oil level indicator tube from the bottom half and clean the old sealer from the tube.

Next, take out the oil level indicator from the tube and remove the oil level indicator tube bolt from the oil fill tube retaining bracket, followed by the removal of the oil level indicator tube from the lower tube.

Finally, position the coolant recovery reservoir and install the retaining bolt, then reinstall the air cleaner assembly.

Take out the oil level indicator from the tube and remove the oil level indicator tube bolt, followed by the oil level indicator tube from the engine block.
