Check the oil level again and, where necessary, top up.

3.8.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE

NOTE
Have the appropriate special tool
cod. 8140181 (fuel-oil pressure gauge).
Connect the oil pressure gauge (4) in place of the en-
gine oil pressure sensor (3).
Engine oil pressure: min. 50 kPa (0.5 bar).
NOTE
Check the oil pressure at a temperature of 80 °C
(176 °F) and at a speed of at least 1200 rpm.
a
CAUTION
If the oil pressure is below the minimum limit, check
the oil pump and relevant drive assembly.
During reassembly, coat the thread of the engine oil
pressure sensor (3) with LOCTITE
Driving torque of sensor (3): 15 Nm (1.5 kgm).
