Engine Oil Pressure Gage
Gasoline Engine
The engine oil pressure gage, located at the lower right
portion of your instrument panel cluster, shows engine
oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) or in
kPa (kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary with outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings of 30 to
40 psi (205 to 275 kPa) on gasoline engines at operating
temperature and moderate road speeds are normal.
If you have a diesel engine, the normal operating range
should be between 35 to 70 psi (240 to 480 kPa).
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or another problem.
If you have a Caterpillar

Operation & Maintenance Manual.
CAUTION:
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:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.
