Wonder how they ‘check’? Just let us know so we can do same procedure independently here.Quote:

Not saying that the indicator is low oil pressure but it wouldn't take long to connect a gauge, possibly in place of the pressure switch.
This is what they do, taken from here DISCO4.COM - View topic - Korean AJD-V6 Crankshaft Recall
My crude translation of the ‘report’
Does sound like an oil pressure test sequence to me given the “rev, idle, repeat” statement. Presumably they are looking at the pressures to spot loose caps or worn bearings that would lower both max pressure and idle pressures (but not so much as to trip the low oil pressure indicator). (Complete guess obviously)
How does loose or worn bearings reduce oil pressure?

The oil escapes faster than it should thereby preventing the maintenance of a higher pressure.
I guess that test would be absolutely reliant on having the manufacturers specified oil and viscosity in there.Quote:
