OIL PRESSURE
Oil pressure (at normal operating temp.):
550 - 600 kPa (5.5 - 6.0 kg/cm
2 ,
78 - 85 psi) at 3000
rpm
NOTE:
The figure shown above is a guideline
onty,
not an abso/ute
service limit.
lf oil pressure is lower or higher than specification, the follow
ing causes may be considerad. (See page 6-68 for oil pas
sage locations)
Low oíl pressure
• Clogged oil filter
• Leakage from oil passages
• Detective oil pump
• Detective oil pressure regulator
• Damage O-ring
• Combination of above items
High oil pressure
• Using an engine oil of too high viscosity
• Clogged oil passage
