Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Engine Oil Pressure

DoD
^ Displacement on Demand Relief Valve Oil Pressure - as Measured at Oil Pressure Sensor Location
Metric 379-517 kPa Maximum
English 55-75 psig Maximum

^ With the engine running and the lower pressure gage (2) measuring below 379 kPa (55 psi), both gauges should display the same pressure reading. If the readings are not the same and the lower gage (2) has a higher reading, the DoD oil pressure relief valve is stuck in the open position or the valve lifter oil manifold filter is plugged.
^ With the engine running and the lower pressure gauge (2) measuring above 379 kPa (55 psi), the upper gage (1) should display no greater than 379 - 517 kPa (55 - 75 psi). If the reading on the upper gage (1) is greater than 517 kPa (75 psi), the DoD oil pressure relief valve is stuck in the closed position.
