I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
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 332.
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 205.
