2. Remove the under cover.
3. Remove the oil pressure switch.
4. Screw the SST into the oil pressure switch
installation hole.
5. Warm up the engine to normal operating
temperature.
6. Run the engine at the specified speed, and note
the gauge readings.
• If the pressure is not as specified, inspect for
the cause and repair or replace if necessary.
Oil pressure (approximate quantity) [oil
temperature: 100°C {212°F}]
147 kPa {1.5 kgf/cm
2
, 21psi} min [1,000 rpm]
343 kPa {3.5 kgf/cm
2
, 50 psi} min [3,000 rpm]
Note
• The oil pressure can vary with oil viscosity and temperature.
7. Stop the engine and wait until it is cool.
8. Remove the SST.
Caution
• Any sealant stuck at the end of the oil pressure switch can cause operation malfunction of the oil
pressure switch.
Be sure there is no sealant at the end of the oil pressure switch.
9. Apply silicone sealant to the oil pressure switch
threads as shown.
10. Install the oil pressure switch.
Tightening torque
12—17 N·m {1.2—1.8 kgf·m, 9—13 ft·lbf}
11. Install the intake manifold bracket.
