1. Check engine oil quantity.
2. Remove the engine oil pressure switch terminal.

CAUTION

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

pressure switch.

4. Install the engine 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 engine oil 

pressure is within the standard value.

Standard value:

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

− 686 kPa (43 − 100 psi)

7. Remove the engine oil pressure gauge.
8. Apply the specified sealant 3M

 AAD Part number 8672 or
