If no oil pressure is shown after approximately 10 seconds, stop the engine and determine the cause. Failure to do so could result in engine damage. NOTICE: 11. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position. Monitor the oil pressure gauge. 12. Check the filter and oil drain plug for signs of leakage. Figure 48 Oil Centrifuge 2. Lift out the dirty cartridge and replace it with a clean one (see Figure 49). 13. Stop the engine. 14. Check the oil level again after approximately five minutes.
