1.CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Warm up and stop the engine, then wait for 5 minutes.
Check that the engine oil level is between the low level and refill upper limit marks on the engine oil level dipstick.
If the level is low, check for engine oil leaks and add engine oil to the refill upper limit mark.
Do not fill to above the refill upper limit mark.
2.CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the engine oil for deterioration, water intrusion, discoloration or thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the engine oil and oil filter sub-assembly.
3.INSPECT OIL PRESSURE
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine oil temperature is 75 to 85°C (167 to 185°F).
Read the Data List.

| Engine Speed | Engine Oil Temperature Sensor | Engine Oil Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 rpm | 75 to 85°C (167 to 185°F) | 80 kPa(gauge) [12 psi(gauge)] or higher |
| 2000 rpm | 80 kPa(gauge) [12 psi(gauge)] or higher | |
| 3000 rpm | 200 kPa(gauge) [29 psi(gauge)] or higher |
If the result is not as specified, check the quality of the engine oil and check the oil paths for clogging. Repair or replace if necessary. After performing replacement or repairs, if the engine oil pressure is not as specified, perform the confirmation driving pattern for DTC P052477, P15F009, P15F077, P15F109, P15F177 in SFI System and check for DTCs.
