Oil Pipe Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda 626. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

In order to prevent ATF leakage, replace the hose. When any damages are found inside or outside of the hose, especially on areas contacting pipes.

Apply compressed air to the cooler-side pipe opening, and blow any remaining dust and foreign material from the cooler pipes. Compressed air should be applied for no less than one minute.
