OIL PRESSURE
Oil pressure (at normal operating temp.):
400 – 600 kPa (4.0 – 6.0 kg/cm
2
, 57 – 85 psi)
at 3000 r/min.
NOTE:
The figure shown above is a guideline only, not an absolute ser-
vice limit.
If oil pressure is lower or higher than specification, the following
causes may be considered.
(See page 6-98 for oil passage locations.)
Low oil pressure
• Clogged oil filter
• Leakage from oil passages
• Defective oil pump
• Defective oil pressure regulator
• Damage O-ring
• Combination of above items
High oil pressure
• Using an engine oil of too high viscosity
• Clogged oil passage
• Clogged oil pressure regulator
• Combination of above items
