Raising the engine speed above idle before the oil
reaches all parts of the engine can cause engine damage
or seizure. Only raise engine speed after running the
engine for a few seconds to allow the oil to circulate
fully.
If the engine oil pressure is too low, the low oil pressure
warning light will illuminate. If this light stays on when
the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and
investigate the cause. Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause engine damage.
14. Ensure that the low oil pressure warning light
extinguishes shortly after starting.
15. Turn off the ignition, check the oil level using the
method previously described, and top-up to between
the minimum and maximum marks.
Note:
• When the engine is first started after an oil and
filter change, at least 1 to 1.5 litres of oil will be
required to top-up the oil tank to the correct
level.
