Oil pressure:
98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm2, 14 psi) or more at 800
rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) or more at
5,000 rpm
CAUTION:
•  If oil pressure is out of specification, check oil pump, oil filter and lubrication line. <Ref. to LU-25, INSPECTION, Engine Lubrication Sys­tem Trouble in General.>
•  If oil pressure warning light is turned ON and oil pressure is in specification, replace oil pres­sure switch. <Ref. to LU-25, INSPECTION, Engine Lubrication System Trouble in Gen­eral. >
NOTE:
The specified data is based on an engine oil tem­perature of 80° C (176°F).
5) After measuring oil pressure, install oil pressure switch. <Ref. to LU-21, INSTALLATION, Oil Pres­sure Switch. >
