, 13 psi) or more at 800 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm
2
, 43 psi) or more at 5,000
rpm
CAUTION:
• If the oil pressure is out of specification,
check the oil pump, oil filter and lubrication
line. <Ref. to LU(H4SO)-21, INSPECTION, En-
gine Lubrication System Trouble in General.>
• If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON
