Warning Light For Engine Oil Pressure; Malfunction Indicator Light - Chevrolet Sail Diesel Owner's Manual

62 Instruments and Controls
Warning Light for Engine Oil
Pressure
After the ignition switch is turned ON
and before the engine is started, the
warning light will illuminate. This
shows that the indicator light bulb is
working correctly.
When the engine is started, this warning
light will go off.
If the engine oil pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, it indicates
that the engine oil pressure may have
dropped to a dangerous level. Imme-
diately stop the engine and check the oil
level.
Lack of proper engine oil mainte-
nance can damage the engine.
Driving with the engine oil low can
also damage the engine. The repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Check the oil level as soon
as possible. Add oil if required, but if
the oil level is within the operating
HEX0064
range and the oil pressure is still low,
have the vehicle serviced. Always
follow the maintenance schedule for
changing engine oil.
If the oil level is too low, add specified
engine oil to a suitable level.
If the level is OK, consult your
CHEVROLET retailer to have the
engine lubrication system checked.
