How to Test Engine Oil Pressure?

[DeCarter]

Testing engine oil pressure can be done using a dedicated oil pressure gauge or a regular oil pressure gauge (with a range of around 1MPa) equipped with corresponding high-pressure hoses and adapters. The detailed 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 adapter of the oil pressure gauge into the threaded hole where the oil pressure sensor was installed and tighten the adapter; 3. Place the oil pressure gauge in a location where it will not come into contact with rotating engine parts or high-temperature components; 4. After starting the engine, check for oil leaks at the oil pressure gauge adapter. If there is a leak, turn off the engine and retighten the adapter; 5. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature, then check the oil pressure gauge readings at both idle and a minimum of 2000rpm, comparing them with the standard pressure values.
