OIL PRESSURE
Start the engine and check if the oil pressure indicator light
is turned on. If it keeps on lighting, check the oil pressure
indicator light circuit. If it is in good condition, check the oil
pressure in the following manner:
• Install the oil pressure gauge with the adaptor in the position
shown in the figure.
• Warm up the engine as follows:
Summer 10 min. or so at 2000 r/min
Winter 20 min. or so at 2000 r/min
• After warming up operation, increase the engine speed to
3000 r/min, and read the oil pressure gauge.

NOTE:
Engine oil must be warmed up to 60°C (140°F) when checking
the oil pressure.
If the oil pressure is lower or higher than the specifications,
several causes may be considered.
* Low oil pressure is usually the result of a clogged oil filter,
oil leakage from the oil passage way, damaged oil seal, a
defective oil pump or a combination of these items.
* High oil pressure is usually caused by a engine oil which
is too heavy a weight, a clogged oil passage, improper
installation of the oil filter or a combination of these items.
