Improper Engine Oil Level
To determine if improper engine oil level is causing low oil pressure, check the engine oil level listed in Table "Lubricating Oil Capacity" .
- If the engine oil level is correct, check lubricating oil viscosity; refer to "15.2 Improper Lubricating Oil Viscosity" .
- If the engine oil level is incorrect, listed in Table "Lubricating Oil Capacity" .

Test for Proper Engine Oil Level
Perform the following steps to determine if properly filled oil pan has resolved low oil pressure:
 PERSONAL INJURY |
|
To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked. |
- Start and vary engine speed between 1800-2100 rpm.
- Measure engine oil pressure.
- If the oil pressure is 241 kPa (35 psi) or more, no further troubleshooting is required. Shut down the engine.
- If the oil pressure at rated speed is less than 241 kPa (35 psi), shut down the engine. Check lubricating oil viscosity; refer to "15.2 Improper Lubricating Oil Viscosity" .
