Oil Pressure Gage - GMC 2010 T-Series Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Gage

United States
The engine oil pressure gage, on the lower right
portion of your instrument panel cluster, shows
engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch)
or in kPa (kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary with
outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings of
30 to 40 psi (205 to 275 kPa) are normal. The normal
operating range should be between 35 and 70 psi
(240 to 480 kPa).
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problem. See Engine
Oil on page 5 16 and Scheduled Maintenance on
page 6 5 for more information.

Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance

WARNING:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low.
The engine can become so hot that it catches fire.
Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon
as possible and have the vehicle serviced.
