It's no secret that the engine oil is an important component of the full and uninterrupted work of the entire car, which means that without this component movement of transport becomes simply impossible. Let's talk about how correctly measuring the oil pressure in the engine and why it may be necessary.
The importance of motor oil
The oil in the engine plays an important role, first of all, this liquid eliminates the possibility of dry friction between the details and among other things, also contributes to the cooling of various heated surfaces under the hood of the car. But this is not all the functions of this oil:
- cleans
- promotes the washing of different kinds of pollution
- neutralizes chemical compounds of aggressive type
In the car lubricant system, the oil is also fed and elements of the outer type, it all under defined pressure. In order to create this kind of pressure. Just do not do without an oil pump, which performs the function in question. As soon as the slightest deviation from the norm in this process appears, it will already be a serious malfunction in your car:
- If the pressure of the engine oil to parts is highly low, ultimately this will lead to the rapid wear of the engine itself.
- In the case of an overly high pressure supply of motor oil, there will be a serious squeezing of the seals because of which, in the end, there will be leaks of all gaskets and all sorts of seals. Among other things, the engine oil will begin to go there, where it should not be, which will also negatively affect the full work of the entire car.
Let's deal with how the pressure of the engine oil is normal and why this pressure may vary, also find out how to measure this pressure in your car.
First of all, it is necessary to understand that the normal pressure supply of engine oil is the key to the normal operation of the vehicle, as well as its safety. Low pressure leads to the fact that the motor does not receive a sufficient amount of lubricant and simply fails (buy a new motor, as and repairing the old - the service is not cheap, have this in mind). That is why it is necessary to do everything possible to prevent reduction in the oil supply pressure to detail.
If the motor refuses to work, the driver with passengers can get into a serious accident, precisely because, on most modern models of road transport, manufacturers set the engine oil pressure emergency light bulb. It is on the dashboard and as soon as it lights up. This means that with the pressure of the oil supply in the car, not everything is in order. Now it's time to figure it out how to measure the oil pressure.
Check the pressure of motor oil in the car
Unfortunately, not every car is equipped with a special indicator of controlling the pressure of the engine oil, which means that not every driver can visually control whether the oil pressure is normal at the moment. That is why, every driver should know what is needed to measure the pressure of the engine oil:
- First of all, you need to have a manual or another source, which will provide you with information on engine oil pressure standards to the parts of the car.
- Under hand to hold the process under consideration, a special purpose pressure gauge must be.
- To start measurements and that they were accurate. The driver must warm the engine (temperature indicators in this case should be working).
- After the maneuvers done, it will be necessary to stop the power unit, after which we are looking for a motor oil pressure sensor on the motor itself.
- This sensor will need to be carefully unscrewed and immediately connect the adapter from the manometer.
- Now you can run the unit itself, and determine what kind of pressure of the engine oil is performed at idle the car.
- After that, carefully squeeze the gas pedal, gradually raising the number of revolutions to high and carefully observe the testimony on the pressure gauge.
It is this way that the motorists are most often used to measure the pressure of the engine oil to the details. In this process, it is very important that the pressure gauge that you will measure such pressure is in working condition and it is desirable to check its performance before you choose the pressure of the engine oil.
Among other things, you can also use a digital type meter. But here not everything is so smooth, as it may seem, because most of such devices whose manufacturers are not very well-known companies, have a rather serious error, so it will not work out the exact indicators of the pressure of the engine oil.
In general, you should not forget that for each model of the motor will be relevant their individual indicators of the normal pressure of the engine oil. So this fact should also be borne in mind when performing the measurement process of this pressure. Methods can be used different, the main thing is that the selected method is accurate and gives you objective information about the pressure of the engine oil, because the usefulness of your car's work depends on the accuracy of readings and measurements.
