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
- AWithin a few seconds Correct
- BWithin about five minutes
- 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.
