Measuring Engine Oil Pressure
Work carefully around an engine that is running. Engine parts that are hot, or parts that are moving, can cause personal injury.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group
Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8907, "Using the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group" for the instructions that are needed to use the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group. Refer to Operation Manual, NEHS0818, "Using the 198-4240 Digital Pressure Indicator Gp" for the instructions that are needed to use the 198-4240 Digital Pressure Indicator Gp.Note: The engine oil pressure can also be measured by using an electronic service tool. Refer to Troubleshooting for information on the use of the electronic technician.

Oil Gallery Plug
(1) Plug
Install the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group into oil gallery plug (1). Note: Engine oil pressure to the camshaft and main bearings should be checked on each side of the cylinder block at oil gallery plug (1).
Start the engine. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations" for the recommendations of engine oil. Note: Allow the engine to reach operating temperature before you perform the pressure test.
Record the value of the engine oil pressure when the engine has reached operating temperature. The engine oil temperature should not exceed 104 °C (219 °F).The minimum engine oil pressure at 1200 rpm should be approximately 275 kPa (40 psi). Minimum engine oil pressure at low idle rpm (400 to 600 rpm) should be approximately 100 kPa (15 psi).The maximum oil pressure should be no higher than 600 kPa (88 psi) for all rpm ranges.
Compare the recorded engine oil pressure with the oil pressure indicators on the instrument panel and the engine oil pressure that is displayed on the Cat ET.
An engine oil pressure indicator that has a defect or an engine oil pressure sensor that has a defect can give a false indication of a low oil pressure or a high oil pressure. If there is a notable difference between the engine oil pressure readings make necessary repairs.
If you determine that the engine oil pressure is low, refer to "Reasons for Low Engine Oil Pressure".
If you determine that the engine oil pressure is high, refer to "Reason for High Engine Oil Pressure". Reasons for Low Engine Oil Pressure
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Engine oil level is low. Refer to Step 1.
Engine oil is contaminated. Refer to Step 2.
The engine oil bypass valves are open. Refer to Step 3.
The engine lubrication system is open. Refer to Step 4.
The oil suction tube has a leak or a restricted inlet screen. Refer to Step 5.
The engine oil pump is faulty. Refer to Step 6.
Engine bearings have excessive clearance. Refer to Step 7.
Check the engine oil level in the crankcase. The oil level can possibly be too far below the oil pump supply tube. This will cause the oil pump not to have the ability to supply enough lubrication to the engine components. If the engine oil level is low add engine oil in order to obtain the correct engine oil level. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations", "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.
Engine oil that is contaminated with fuel or coolant will cause low engine oil pressure. High engine oil level in the crankcase can be an indication of contamination. Determine the reason for contamination of the engine oil and make the necessary repairs. Replace the engine oil with the approved grade of engine oil. Also replace the engine oil filter. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations", "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.
