How to Measure Engine Oil Pressure?

[McTeagan]

Measuring engine oil pressure involves the following steps: 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 was 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 a leak, 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 idle and at 2000 RPM, comparing them with the standard pressure values; 6. The standard oil pressure for different engine models varies, but it should generally be greater than 0.05 MPa at idle and greater than 0.2 MPa at 2000 RPM; 7. After measuring the oil pressure, remove the oil pressure gauge, install the oil pressure sensor, tighten it to the specified torque, reconnect the wiring harness plug, and start the engine to confirm there are no oil leaks from the oil pressure sensor.
