The engine oil pressure gage shows the engine
oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) or
kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is running.
Oil pressure should be 20 to 80 psi
(140 to 550 kPa). In certain situations such as
long, extended idles on hot days, it could read
as low as 6 psi (40 kPa) and still be considered
normal. It may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above
the shaded area show the normal operating
range. Readings in the shaded area tell you
that the engine is low on oil, or that you might
have some other oil problem. See Engine Oil on
page 333.
The engine oil pressure can also be displayed
using the GAGES button on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 207.
