Engine Oil Pressure Gage
This gage tells you if there could be a
problem with your engine oil pressure.
The engine oil pressure gage shows the
engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per
square inch) i n the U.S., or kPa
(kilopascals) in Canada, when the engine
is running. Oil pressure should be 20 to
80
psi (140 to 550 kPa). It may vary with
engine speed, outside temperature and
oil viscosity, but readings above the red
area show the normal operating range.
Readings in the red area tell you that the
engine is low on oil, or that you might
have some other oil problem. See "Engine
Oil" in the Index.
Don't keep driving if the oil
h
pressure
is
low. If you do, your

burned. Check your oil as soon as
possible and have your vehicle
