NOTE:- Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a offset wrench is combined with a torque wrench (Refer to PRECAUTION [12/2012 - ] ).
- After adding oil, drive the vehicle and recheck the oil level.
HINT:
When tightening, combine the offset wrench with the torque wrench so that they are in a straight line.
