1E-3 Engine Lubrication System:
7) After warm up, increase the engine speed to 3 000 r/
min (Observe the tachometer), and read the oil
pressure gauge.
If the oil pressure is lower or higher than the
specification, the following causes may be
considered.
Oil pressure specification
140 – 180 kPa (1.4 – 1.8 kgf/cm
2
, 20 – 26 psi) at 3
000 r/min, Oil temp. at 60 °C (140 °F)
8) Stop the engine and remove the oil pressure gauge
and attachment.
9) Reinstall the main oil gallery plug (1) and tighten it to
the specified torque.
CAUTION
!
Use a new gasket to prevent oil leakage.
Tightening torque
Main oil gallery plug (a): 18 N·m (1.8 kgf-m, 13.0
lb-ft)
10) Check the engine oil level. Refer to “Engine Oil and
Filter Replacement in Section 0B (Page 0B-10)”.
11) Reinstall the removed parts.
