f150 oil pressure gauge real convert
The conversion ratio between kilopascals and kilograms is 1 kilogram equals 98 kilopascals. One kilogram is equal to two pounds.The oil pressure gauge is mainly used to measure the pressure of the oil during the operation of the engine lubrication system. Composed of a gauge head, conduit, and thread. Remove the oil pressure sensor.
Use of oil pressure gauge:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, wait long enough (2-3 minutes) for the oil to flow back and measure if the oil level is too low. Add the recommended level of engine oil and add oil to the crankcase until the oil level reaches the "FULL" mark on the oil dipstick.
2. Run the engine and confirm that the vehicle pressure gauge or indicator light does not indicate low or no oil pressure. Listen for valve system noise or knocking sounds.
3. Remove the oil pressure sensor or another engine cylinder block oil passage plug. Install a pressure gauge and measure the pressure
4. Install an oil pressure gauge, start the engine and preheat it to normal operating temperature (80 ℃), and measure the engine oil pressure.
5. Compare the reading with the specifications. Taking the new LaCrosse LDK engine as an example, the minimum oil pressure at idle is 206 kPa, and the maximum oil pressure at 1000 rpm is 482 kPa
If the engine oil pressure is lower than the specified value, check the engine for one or more of the following conditions: The oil filter with check function and the O-ring on the cylinder block side of the filter are normal worn or dirty oil pump. The bolts from the oil pump to the front cover of the engine are loose. Loose, blocked, or damaged oil pump filter screen. Missing or damaged O-ring seal for oil pump filter screen
Oil pump pressure regulating valve malfunction. Excessive bearing clearance. Cracked, porous, or blocked oil passages. Missing or improperly installed oil duct plug. 1) Install the oil pressure sensor or oil passage plug. 2) Start the engine and check for oil leakage from the oil pressure switch. 3) Turn off the engine and check if the accessories are installed properly
