Caution
•
••
• Power flushing should be performed very
carefully when removing the
accumulated debris from the fluid baffle,
otherwise the debris cannot be removed
or the problem becomes even worse.
2. If there is no air blown out the feed side, flush the
oil cooler lines using the power-flushing tool. (See
K38 Power Flushing)
Recommended power-flushing manufacturer
3. If there is ventilation, carry out the following steps.
(1) Remove the oil pan and inspect the fluid filter
element from the front filter.
(2) If the element is covered with too much debris
or particles and cannot be seen, replace the
oil cooler. (See K39 OIL COOLER
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) (See K41 OIL
COOLER DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)
(3) If the element can be seen, flush the oil cooler
lines using the power-flushing tool.
• Performing back and reverse power
flushing two times each does not work
because debris or particles flow out from
the feed pipe side of ATX.
