Engine ....................................................................... SECURE per Engine
Loss of oil pressure may be either partial or complete. A partial loss of
oil pressure usually indicates a malfunction in the oil pressure regulating
system, and a landing should be made as soon as possible to investigate the
cause and prevent engine damage. Oil temperature may be monitored to
corroborate low oil pressure readings.
A complete loss of oil pressure may signify oil exhaustion. Continued
operation of the engine could result in a serious emergency situation or
severe engine damage. Complete the Engine Securing Procedure (para.
3.5a) on the faulty engine. If engine oil is depleted, the engine will seize
and if feathering is not initiated above 950 RPM is the propeller will not
feather.

Abnormally high oil temperature may be caused by low oil level.
Monitor oil pressure gage for accompanying loss of pressure.
Excessive cylinder head temperature may parallel excessive oil
temperature.
If the problem persists, land as soon as practical and have the cause
investigated.
