Oil Pressue Indicator
(3.7L V6 ENGINE)
Your vehicle is equipped with an oil
pressure indicator rather than an oil
pressure gage. Your oil pressure indicator
lets you know when you may have a
problem with your engine oil pressure.
When the engine is running, readings
within the whke graduation band
indicate the normal operating range.
Readings in or below the red area
indicate that the engine's oil level may
be dangerously low, or there may be
another problem causing low oil
pressure.
Driving your vehicle with low oil
pressure can cause extensive engine
damage. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
I
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.

Oil Pressure Gage
(3800
V6 ENGINE)
Your oil pressure gage shows the oil
pressure in psi (pounds per square inch)
when the engine is running. Canadian
vehicles indicate pressure in kPa
(kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary
with engine speed, outside temperature
and
oil
viscosity. In fact, while the
engine is warming up, the oil pressure
will be higher than at the normal
operating temperature. Readings above
the red w d g zone indicate the
normal operating range.
If the gage reads in the red warning
zone, your engine's oil level may be
dangerously low or there may be
another problem causing low oil
pressure.
