Oil Pressure Check

WARNING
!
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust manifold when exhaust
system is hot.
When servicing, be sure to perform it after
exhaust system has cooled down.
NOTE
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the
following.
• Oil level in oil pan
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level
hole on oil level gauge referring to "Engine
Oil and Filter Change (Petrol Engine
Model) in Section 0B".
• Oil quality
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change
it. For particular oil to be used, refer to
"Engine Oil and Filter Change (Petrol
