The engine oil pressure gauge indicates engine oil
pressure when the ignition is on. Check it while driving to
make sure the needle is in the proper range.
If the engine oil pressure should stay below the normal range,
pull off the road to a safe place and stop the engine
immediately. Call a Lexus dealer or qualified repair shop for
assistance.
Engine oil pressure may not build up when the engine oil level
is too low. The engine oil pressure gauge is not designed to
indicate engine oil level, and the engine oil level must be
checked using the level dipstick.
