Low Oil Pressure
LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR
The oil pressure indicator should
never come on when the engine is
running. If this light comes on with
the engine running, take immediate
action.
NOTICE
Running the engine with low oil
pressure can cause serious mechanical
damage almost immediately. Turn off
the engine as soon as you can safely get
the car stopped.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Table of Contents
1. Safely pull off the road and shut off
the engine.
2. Let the car sit for a minute. Open
the engine compartment and
check the oil level (see page 109).
Although oil level and oil pressure
are not directly connected, an
engine that is very low on oil can
lose pressure during cornering
and other driving maneuvers.
3. If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page 144).
4. Start the engine and watch the oil
pressure light. If the light does not
go out within ten seconds, turn off
the engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired
before you can continue driving.
