CDL · Vehicle inspection

Once you start the engine, how quickly should the oil pressure reach its normal level?

Correct answer: Within a few seconds.

Answer options

  1. AWithin a few seconds Correct
  2. BWithin about five minutes
  3. CWithin about two minutes

Why

A healthy engine builds normal oil pressure just seconds after it starts. If the gauge stays low, turn the engine off at once, because running without lubrication can ruin it quickly.
