- Start the engine and warm up the engine.
- Run the engine at the specified speed, and read the oil pressure gauge.
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.
Oil Pressure
Standard: 216-294 kPa (2.2-3.0 kgf/cm², 31-43 psi) at 4 000 r/min (rpm), oil temperature 90°C (194°F)
- Stop the engine.
- Remove the oil pressure gauge and adapter.
Warning: Take care against burns form hot engine 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 install it.
Torque - Oil Passage Plug: 20 Nm (2.0 kgf·m, 15 ft·lb)
