MEASURING THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
1. Check:

engine oil level
Below the minimum level mark
a
Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
When the engine is cold, the engine oil will
have a higher viscosity, causing the engine
oil pressure to increase. Therefore, be sure
to measure the engine oil pressure after
warming up the engine.

6. Measure:

engine oil pressure
(at the following conditions)
Engine oil pressure
230 kPa
(2.3 kg / cm

Engine speed
Approx. 5,000 r / min
Engine oil temperature
100C (212F)
Regarding the oil pressure as its own data may
fluctuate depending on the oil temperature and
viscosity, the oil pressure may fluctuate when
measuring. The following data should be used
only as a reference when measuring the engine
oil pressure.
