Engine Oil Pressure
Operate the engine in order to achieve the normal operating temperature. When the engine has achieved the normal operating temperature, the engine oil temperature should be no greater than 110°C (230°F). The engine oil temperature should be measured after the engine oil has passed through the engine oil cooler.
Check the engine oil pressure in the oil gallery that is located on the right side of the cylinder block.
Engine oil pressure under full load conditions (1400 rpm to 1800 rpm) ... 275 to 414 kPa (40 to 60 psi)
Minimum engine oil pressure at low idle (600 rpm to 800 rpm) ... 68 kPa (10 psi)
