Engine Oil Pressure Gage
OIL
0 -
The oil pressure gage shows
the engine oil pressure in
psi (pounds per square inch)
when the engine
is
running.
Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa (kilopascals).
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in
the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously
low
oil level or other problems causing low
oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Don't keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If
you do, your engine can become so hot that it
catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.
