Oil pressure specification
400 - 700 kPa (4.0 - 7.0 kgf/cm², 57 - 100 psi) at 3 000 r/min, Oil temp. at 60°C (140°F)
If the oil pressure is lower or higher than the specification, the following causes may be considered.
Low oil pressure
- Clogged oil filter
- Oil leakage from the oil passage
- Damaged O-ring
- Defective oil pump
- Combination of the above items
High oil pressure
- Engine oil viscosity is too high
- Clogged oil passage
- Combination of the above items
Oil pressure test procedure
Start the engine and check if the oil pressure indicator light is turned on. If the light stays on, check the oil pressure indicator light circuit. If the circuit is OK, check the oil pressure in the following manner.
- Remove the boot 1 and oil pressure switch lead wire 2.
- Remove the oil pressure switch 3.
- Install the oil pressure gauge and adaptor into the oil gallery.

- Install the oil pressure switch 4 into the adaptor.
- Warm up the engine as follows:
- Summer: 5 min at idle r/min
- Winter: 8 min at idle r/min
- After warming up, increase the engine speed to 3 000 r/min (observe the tachometer), and read the oil pressure gauge.
