OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
Warning
• Continuous exposure with USED engine
oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory
mice. Protect your skin by washing with
soap and water immediately after this
work.
• When the engine and the oil are hot, they
can badly burn. Turn off the engine and
wait until they are cool.
