Checking Engine Oil Pressure

  1. Remove the oil pressure sending unit and install gauge assembly (special tool #C-3292A, Gauge, Pressure).
  2. Run the engine until the thermostat opens.
  3. Oil Pressure:
    • Curb Idle-25 kPa (4 psi) minimum
    • 3000 rpm-170 - 758 kPa (25 - 110 psi)
  4. If oil pressure is 0 at idle, shut off engine. Check for a clogged oil pick-up screen or a pressure relief valve stuck open.
