98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm
2
, 14 psi) or more at 800 rpm

2
, 43 psi) or more at 5,000
rpm
• If the oil pressure is out of specification, check oil
pump, oil filter and lubrication line. <Ref. to
LU(H4DOTC)-21, INSPECTION, Engine Lubrica-
tion System Trouble in General.>
• If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON and

NOTE:
The specified data is based on an engine oil tem-
perature of 80°C (176°F).
5) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch. <Ref. to LU(H4DOTC)-18, IN-
