NOTE:
If an overnight drive is done, the fan air or road air blast can cause erroneous readings.
NOTE:
When diagnosing engine oil leaks, the source and location of the leak must be positively identified prior to repair.
- Prior to carrying out this procedure, clean the cylinder block, cylinder heads, valve covers, oil pan and flywheel/flexplate with a suitable solvent to remove all traces of oil.
