What is the engine oil pressure?
1 Answers
Under normal operating conditions, the engine oil pressure is generally maintained between 150-350 kPa. If the pressure gauge indicates a value below 98 kPa, it can be considered as low oil pressure, and the vehicle should be stopped immediately for inspection. Otherwise, it may lead to excessive wear of parts or even serious mechanical failures such as "bearing seizure". Here is additional information: 1. If the oil pressure is too low, it will disrupt the engine's lubrication conditions, resulting in poor lubrication, cooling, and cleaning, which will accelerate part wear or even cause bearing seizure and cylinder explosion. 2. If the oil pressure is too high, it may lead to difficulties in engine sealing, oil seal leakage, increased oil consumption, and other faults.
