Subsection XX (LUBRICATION SYSTEM)
INSPECTION
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
NOTE: The engine oil pressure test should be
done with a warm engine 100°C (212°F) and the
recommended oil.
Remove the oil pressure switch. Refer to
PRESSURE SWITCH
in this subsection.
Use the pressure gauge with the proper adapter
hose.
REQUIRED TOOL
PRESSURE GAUGE (P/N 529

Reinstall the oil pressure switch and remaining
components.
TROUBLESHOOTING
LOW OR NO OIL PRESSURE
1. Oil level is too low.
- Refill engine with recommended engine oil. Re-
fer to OIL LEVEL VERIFICATION in the PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES subsection.
- Check for high oil consumption, refer to HIGH
OIL CONSUMPTION in the TROUBLESHOOT-
ING subsection.
- Check for engine oil leaks. For leak indicator
hose and leak indicator hole, refer to COOLING
SYSTEM INSPECTION in the PERIODIC MAIN-
TENANCE PROCEDURES subsection. Repair if
necessary.
2. Use of unsuitable engine oil type.
- Replace engine oil by the recommended engine
oil.
3. Clogged oil filter.
- Replace oil and oil filter at the same time.
4. Defective oil pressure switch.
- Test oil pressure switch, see procedure in this
subsection.
5. Defective or worn oil pump.
- Check oil pump, see procedure in this subsection.
6. Defective engine oil pressure regulator.
- Check engine oil pressure regulator, see proce-
dure in this subsection.
7. Worn plain bearings in crankcase.
- Check plain bearings clearance, refer to BOTTOM
END subsection.
8. Clogged engine oil strainer.
- Clean engine oil strainer, see procedure in this
subsection.
OIL CONTAMINATION
1. Defective water pump seal ring or rotary seal.
- Check for oil or coolant leak from indicator near
water pump, refer to COOLING SYSTEM IN-
SPECTION in the PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES subsection. Replace seal if nec-
essary.
