Oil Pressure Gage - Chevrolet 2001 S10 Pickup Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Gage

United States
The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure
in psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is
running. Canadian vehicles indicate oil pressure
in kPa (kilopascals).
Don't keep driving if the oil pressure is low.
If you do, your engine can become so hot that
it catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.
NOTICE:
Canada
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered
by your warranty.
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problems causing low
oil pressure.
