Attention!
- Be sure to check the oil level on the dipstick.
- Do not exceed the maximum level on the dipstick (this can lead to engine failure).
- Before handing over the car to the owner, if necessary, bring the engine oil level to the norm on the dipstick.
Note: After filling the engine with oil, be sure to wait at least 10 minutes before checking the dipstick level to allow the oil to drain completely into the crankcase.
Remove the oil pressure sensor.
Replace the oil pressure sensor with a tool with a suitable tip using the tool (Mot. 1495-01) or high head 22 mm.
Start the engine.
Monitor oil pressure as engine warms up (up to approximately 80°C or until the first activation of the electric fan of the engine cooling system), which should not be lower than at idle.
If the oil pressure is below idle pressure, check that:
- oil filter is not clogged,
- there is no contamination or metal filings in the oil,
- the oil pump and its drive are operational.
Check the oil pressure against the values given in the table above.
Stop the engine.
Remove fitting tool.
Install the oil pressure sensor.
Wipe off any oil spills with a rag.
Wait at least 10 minutes.
Check the engine oil level on the dipstick.
Top up the oil level if necessary.
Start the engine and check that there is no oil leakage from the oil pressure sensor.
