Start replacement of the oil level indicator and tube by disassembling the air cleaner assembly while freeing the retaining bolt securing the coolant recovery reservoir then putting it aside. The first step involves pulling out both components - the oil level indicator and tube bolt from its position on the retaining bracket of the oil fill tube. Then the lower tube must be detached from the device. Check for cuts or damage on the o-ring seal before removing it from service. Start by disconnecting the lower oil fill tube bolt affixed to the engine block and pull out the lower oil fill tube. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate an o-ring before installing it onto the lower oil level indicator tube. Position the lower oil level indicator tube behind the
Exhaust Manifold before you raise and support the vehicle while you install the tube into the block with the collar flush to the block surface. The oil level indicator tube bolt should be installed while the vehicle is at low height before being fastened to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs). After that, place the upper oil level indicator tube in the lower fill hole and the retaining bracket should secure the tube while tightening the bolt to 10 nm (88 inch lbs.). The last step is to reposition the coolant recovery reservoir before installing the retaining bolt that is followed by the air cleaner assembly.
