1. Check engine oil quantity.

2. Remove the oil pressure switch terminal.

CAUTION

Since sealant is applied to the thread of the oil pressure 
switch, take care not to damage the oil pressure switch 
when removing it.
3. Use special tool MD998054 to remove the oil pressure 

switch.

4. Install the oil pressure gauge.

NOTE: Use a 1/8 pipe thread adapter.

5. Run the engine to warm it.

6. After the engine has been warmed up, check that oil 

pressure is within the standard value.

Standard value:

At idle: 29 kPa (4.2 psi) or more
At 3,500 r/min: 294
