I went to my local Honda dealership and was looking to get m oil pressure tested b/c my Rubicon isn't shifting. however, the few dealerships that I called say that it would take at minimum an hour, which cost between 60 to 65 bucks an hour. However, I can get a new pump for around 130.

So I was wondering if you can and if its been done: testing you own oil pressure. I know I need a special fitting to screw into the appropriate hole; however, I'm pretty sure its metric and I'm not sure where to find that part if I can even buy it.

Any feedback help!!

Thanks

Procedure will be in that all important to own service manual!

 

Yes you can check the oil pressure yourself .. If you have/have access to the right equpiment .. I have both the Honda gauge & fitting and a Fluke set-up .. The Fluke set-up is quite expensive , mine is a Fluke model 88 automotive (for the tach) .. Fluke model 863 graph meter & Fluke PV500 (for oil pressure) ...

The fitting is 10x1.25mm

As far as checking the oil pressure on a Rubicon , it takes approx. 3-5 minutes (if the bike is already warmed up) ..
