Oil pressure:

Standard

98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm2, 14 psi) or more at 600 rpm

294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) or more at 5,000 rpm

If the oil pressure is out of specification, check oil pump, oil filter and lubrication line.

If the oil pressure warning light is ON and oil pressure is within specification, check the oil pressure switch.

NOTE:

Standard value is based on an engine oil temperature of 80°C (176°F).

6. After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil pressure switch.
