Engine Oil Pressure Gauge - Peterbilt 348 2017 Operator's Manual

STANDARD GAUGES
NOTE
The OAT uses a sensor (located at
the bottom of the driver's side mir-
ror assembly) to measure outside air
temperature only. It is not capable
of displaying the temperature of the
road surface on either the tempera-
3
ture display or the snowflake icon.
NOTE
The effects of direct sunlight, or the
use of mirror heat, will increase the
outside air temperature displayed
while the vehicle is stationary.

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

It is important to maintain oil pressure
within acceptable limits. Your engine
manual will give normal operating
pressures for your engine.
Y53-6060-1C1
CAUTION
Continuing to operate your vehi-
cle with insufficient oil pressure will
cause serious engine damage.
• If your oil pressure fails to rise
within 10 seconds after your
engine starts, stop the engine
and determine the cause.
• If your oil pressure suddenly
drops while you are driving, bring
the vehicle to a stop as soon as
possible in a safe location off
the road and turn off the engine.
Wait a few minutes to allow oil
to drain into the oil pan, and
then check the oil level. Add
oil if necessary. If the problem
persists, contact an authorized
service center.
Check the engine manufacturer's
manual for the correct oil pressure
ranges for your engine.
