Low Oil Level Light

This light should come on as a check, when you start
your engine. If the light fails to come on, have it repaired
as soon as possible so you will be aware when the oil
level is low.
Vehicles that have Caterpillar
have a low oil level light. In this case, the light will
neither come on as a check when you start your engine,
nor will it come on to indicate a low oil level.
If this light comes on and stays on, it means your
engine is low on oil. You need to check the oil level
right away. See Engine Oil (Caterpillar
on page 5-23 or Engine Oil (Gasoline Engine) on
page 5-24 or Engine Oil (DURAMAX
