Engine Lubrication: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION
1. Remove the intake manifold bracket.
2. Remove the oil pressure switch.





3. Screw the SST into the oil pressure switch installation hole.
4. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
5. Run the engine at 1,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm, and note the gauge reading.

Oil pressure:
196-294 kPa
(2.0-3.0 kgf/cm2, 28-43 psi)-1,000 rpm
294-392 kPa
(3.0-4.0 kgf/cm2, 43-57 psi)-3,000 rpm

6. If the pressure is not as specified, check for the cause and repair.





7. Remove the SST and install the oil pressure switch.

Tightening torque:
11.8-17.6 N.m (120-180 kgf.cm, 105-156 in.lbf)





8. Install the intake manifold bracket.

Tightening torque
(A): 38-51 N.m (3.8-5.3 kgf.m, 28-36 ft. lbf)
(B): 19-25 N.m (1.9-2.6 kgf.m, 14-18 ft. lbf)
