How to Check Engine Oil Pressure?
1 Answers
Engine oil pressure should be measured and checked using a dedicated oil pressure gauge. The measurement method is as follows: 1. Disconnect the wiring harness plug of the oil pressure sensor and remove the oil pressure sensor; 2. Screw the hose connector of the oil pressure gauge into the threaded hole where the oil pressure sensor is installed and tighten the connector; 3. Place the oil pressure gauge in a location where it will not come into contact with rotating or high-temperature engine components; 4. Start the engine and check for oil leaks at the oil pressure gauge connector. If there is any leakage, turn off the engine and retighten the connector; 5. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature, then check the oil pressure gauge readings at both idle and 2000 rpm, comparing them with the standard pressure values.
