Maintenance Schedule; Oil Pressure Light - Buick 2004 Park Avenue Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Light

The oil pressure light will come on briefly when you turn
your key to RUN. It goes off once you turn the key to
START. That's just a check to be sure the light works.
This is normal and doesn't show a problem. If it doesn't
come on and then go off, be sure to have it fixed so it will
be there to warn you if there is a problem.
When this light comes on and stays on, and a chime
sounds, it means oil isn't going through the engine
properly. The oil could be low, or there might be some
other oil problem. See your dealer for service.
