1. On a cold engine, unscrew the oil pressure sensor and screw in a verified pressure gauge instead.
2. Measure the oil pressure at idle and at the speed specified in the Technical Data (to do this, you should connect a tachometer), compare the measured values with the standard ones. Check the pressure on a cold and warm engine.
3. If the pressure is low, compare its value for a cold engine with the standard value. If the oil pressure on a cold engine is higher than normal, and on a warm engine it is lower than normal, then the engine has been filled with oil that does not correspond to the recommended viscosity. Change the oil and check the pressure again. Low oil pressure indicates worn engine parts or a faulty oil pump.
