OIL PRESSURE CHECK
1. CHECK OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, disco–
loring or thinning.
If oil quality is poor, replace.
Oil grade:
API grade SG Energy – Conserving 11 multigrade
engine oil.
Recommended viscosity is as shown.
2. CHECK OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the "L" and "F" marks
on the level gauge. If low, check for leakage and add
oil up to the "F" mark.
3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SENDER GAUGE
Using SST, remove the oil pressure sender gauge.
SST 09816 – 30010
4. INSTALL OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
5. START ENGINE
Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating
temperature.
6. MEASURE OIL PRESSURE
Oil pressure:
At idle speed
29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
At 3,000 rpm
245 – 520 kPa (2.5 – 5.3 kgf/cm
7. REMOVE 41L PRESSURE GAUGE
