It may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and
oil viscosity, but readings above the red
area show the
normal operating range. Readings in the red area tell
you that the engine is low on oil, or that you might have
some other oil problem. See "Engine Oil" in the Index.
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.
Low Oil Light
This warning light should
come on while you are
starting your engine. If
the light doesn't come on,
have it repaired.
LOW OIL
I
If the light stays on after starting your engine, your
engine oil level may be too low. You may need to add
oil. See "Engine Oil'' in the Index.
NOTICE:
The oil level monitoring system only checks
the
oil level when you are starting your engine. It
does not keep monitoring the level once the
engine is running. Also, the oil level check only
works when the engine has been turned off long
enough for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
