2. Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge registers no oil pressure. Repair the problem before continuing..' 3. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (fan comes on at least twice). The pressure should be:

Engine Oil Temperature: 176 Р’В°F (80 Р’В°C)

Engine Oil Pressure:

At idle: 69 kPa (0.7 kgf/cm2,10.0 psi) min.

At 3,000 rpm: 304 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2,44 psi) min.

4. If the oil pressure is out of specifications, inspect these items: - Blocking of oil filter.
