0000461 Dealer Repair Information

A screeching or knocking noise maybe heard when the oil is cold. The oil

light could also stay on too long after a cold start.

Sludge or foreign matter may be restricting the oil pump pick up screen.

This is most likely caused by improper maintenance or oil change
intervals. Clean the screen and advise the customer to follow proper oil

service intervals.
