Engine Oil Pressure; Gauge - Chevrolet EXPRESS - 2011 Manual

Engine Oil Pressure

Gauge

Metric
English
The oil pressure gauge shows the
engine oil pressure in psi (pounds
per square inch) or kPa (kilopascals)
when the engine is running.
Oil pressure may vary with engine
speed, outside temperature and oil
viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the
normal operating range.
Instruments and Controls
A reading in the low pressure zone
may be caused by a dangerously
low oil level or other problem
causing low oil pressure.
Check the oil as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not keep driving if the oil
pressure is low. The engine can
become so hot that it catches fire.
Someone could be burned.
Check the oil as soon as possible
and have the vehicle serviced.
Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always follow the maintenance
schedule for changing engine oil.
