Run the engine at the specified speed, and read the oil
pressure gauge.
Oil Pressure
Standard: 255
∼ 304 kPa (2.6 ∼ 3.1 kgf/cm², 37 ∼ 44
psi) at 4 000 r/min (rpm), oil temperature
50°C (122°F)
If the oil pressure is much lower than the standard, check
the oil pump, relief valve, and/or crankshaft bearing insert
wear immediately.
If the reading is much higher than the standard, check the
oil passages for clogging.
•
Stop the engine.
•
Remove the oil pressure gauge and adapter.
WARNING
Hot oil can cause severe burns. Beware of hot en-
gine oil that will drain through the oil passage when
the gauge adapter is removed.
•
Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the oil passage
plug, and tighten it.
