Tools Required
|     •  | J 42907  Oil
      Pressure  Testing Tool | 
 
- With the vehicle on a
  level surface,  run the vehicle for a few minutes, allow adequate drain
down       time of  2-3 minutes, and measure  the oil level.
 
- If required, add the recommended grade engine oil and fill the
   crankcase until the oil level measures full on the oil level indicator.
 
- Run the engine briefly, approximately 10-15 seconds,
  and verify  low or no oil pressure on the vehicle gage or light.
 
- Listen for a noisy valve train or a knocking noise.
 
- Inspect for the following:
 
| •  | Oil diluted by water or glycol - anti freeze | 
 
- Remove the oil filter and install the J 42907 
.
 
- Install J 21867 
or
  equivalent  to the J 42907 
.
 
- Run the engine and measure the engine oil pressure.
 
- Compare the readings to 
Engine Mechanical Specifications 
.
 
- If the engine oil pressure is below specifications, inspect the
   engine for one or more of the following:
 
| •  | Oil pump-to-engine block bolts loose | 
 
| •  | Oil pump screen loose, plugged, or damaged | 
 
| •  | Oil pump screen O-ring seal missing or damaged | 
 
| •  | Malfunctioning oil pump pressure regulator valve | 
 
| •  | Excessive bearing clearance | 
 
| •  | Cracked, porous, or restricted oil galleries | 
 
| •  | Oil gallery plugs missing or incorrectly installed | 
 
- If the oil pressure reading on the J 21867 
 or equivalent is within specifications, inspect for the following:
 
| •  | Plugged or incorrect oil filter and/or malfunctioning oil bypass
   valve | 
 
| •  | Malfunctioning oil pressure gage or sensor |
