Oil Hose Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

In order to prevent ATF leakage, replace the hose when any damage is found inside or outside of the hose, especially on areas contacting with pipes.

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

Install the hose clamp onto the hose.
- If reusing the hose, install a new hose clamp exactly onto the mark left by the previous hose clamp.
Verify that the hose clamp does not interfere with any other parts.
