Checking oil pressure (Renault Espace III)

• Checking the oil pressure should be done on a warm engine (-80°C).
• Connect a pressure gauge instead of the oil pressure sensor.
• Start the engine and measure the oil pressure at various crankshaft speeds.
• Oil pressure values:

- at 1000 min⁻¹: minimum 1.2 bar

- at 3000 min⁻¹: minimum 3.5 bar

• Turn off the engine and remove the pressure gauge.
• Install the oil pressure sensor with a new seal.
• Check the engine oil level.
