    4. Reinstall the drain plug and torque to manufacturer specifications (typically around 20 lb-ft).
    5. Fill the engine with new oil according to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically 0W-20 synthetic oil).

3. Replace VVT Solenoid

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, new VVT solenoid.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Locate the VVT solenoid on the engine.
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the solenoid.
    3. Remove the bolts holding the solenoid in place and carefully take it out.
    4. Install the new VVT solenoid and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
    5. Reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Clear Error Codes and Test

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Reconnect the battery terminal.
