4.2.2. Check points for break-in
During the break-in (the initial running of the engine) period, be particularly observant
as follows:
z
Check engine oil level frequently. Maintain oil level in the safe range, between
the "min." and “max." marks on dipstick.
NOTE:
If you have a problem getting a good oil level reading on the oil level gauge,
rotate the oil level gauge 180
°
and re-insert for check.
z
Watch the oil pressure warning lamp. If the lamp blinks, it may be the oil pick-up
screen is not covered with oil. Check oil level gauge. Add oil to the oil pan, if
required. Do not overfill. If level is correct and the status still exists, see your
DEALER for possible switch or oil pump and line malfunction.
Note:
Oil pressure will rise as RPM increases, and fall as RPM decreases. In
addition, cold oil will generally show higher oil pressure for any specific RPM
than hot oil. Both of these conditions reflect normal engine operation.
z
Watch the engine water temperature gauge and be sure there is proper water
circulation. The water temperature gauge needle will fluctuate if water level in
expansion tank is too low.
