Q

Which of the following should always be checked prior to starting a diesel engine?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic diesel engine pre-start checks • Purpose of lubricating oil in a diesel engine • Which items are typically monitored only while the engine is running

💭 Think About

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is directly related to lubrication and preventing metal-to-metal contact. • Decide which items are usually part of routine maintenance rather than a required pre‑start check every time. • Consider which instrument or reading is only available after the engine has been running.
