TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL
ENGINE
Record Oil Pressure
Start the engine and operate at 800 to 1000 rpm until the
oil temperature gauge reads 140 deg. F [60 deg. C].
Reduce engine speed to idle and record the oil pressure.
A comparison of pressure at idling speed with previous
readings will give an indication of progressive wear of
lubricating oil pump, bearings, shafts, etc.
These
readings are more accurate and reliable when taken
immediately after an oil change.
