What is the normal oil pressure for a Shandeka truck?
1 Answers
Oil pressure is generally maintained within the range of 150 to 350 kPa. The following are the hazards of excessively high or low oil pressure: Excessively high oil pressure: When a vehicle's oil pressure is too high, it can cause excessive oil burning. Excessive oil burning leads to increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, reduced heat dissipation efficiency, and other adverse effects. Excessively low oil pressure: When a vehicle's oil pressure is too low, it can result in poor lubrication, increased cylinder wear, reduced compression ratio, decreased power output, and other hazards. Therefore, it is essential to monitor oil pressure constantly. Insufficient oil volume can reduce the oil pump's output or cause air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. This can accelerate wear on components like the crankshaft, bearings, cylinder liners, and pistons due to inadequate lubrication. The solution is to ensure sufficient oil volume and top up promptly when levels are low. If the oil level drops significantly in a short period, check whether the vehicle is burning oil.
