NOTE: Before checking the oil level on this en-
gine, it is necessary to let it idle for 30 seconds
before shutting it off. Thereafter it is necessary
to wait 30 seconds. Then, the oil can be checked.
This is required to allow the oil to properly level
in the different oil chambers. Otherwise, you will
have a false oil level reading.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TEST
NOTE: The engine pressure test should be done
with a warm engine and the recommended oil.
Remove plug below oil filter housing.
Use oil pressure gauge (P/N 529 035 709) and
hose adaptor (P/N 529 035 652) and install where
shown.
Start engine and read pressure at different RPM
as per following table.
