Oil Pressure Gage - GMC Safari 2003 Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Gage

Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa
(kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary with engine speed,
outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings
above the low pressure zone indicate the normal
operating range.
3-34
The oil pressure gage
shows the engine oil
pressure in psi (pounds
per square inch) when the
engine is running.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problems causing
low oil pressure.
{
CAUTION:
Do not 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.
