Oil Pressure Gage - Chevrolet Silverado 2007 Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Gage

United States
Your vehicle may have an engine oil pressure
gage. It shows the engine 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, but if readings
are outside the normal operating range, the oil
pressure light will come on. See Oil Pressure Light
on page 270 for more information.
A reading outside the normal operating range may
be caused by a dangerously low oil level or
some other problem causing low oil pressure.
Check your oil as soon as possible. See
"OIL PRESSURE LOW" under DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 285 and Engine Oil (Gasoline
Engine) on page 508.
Canada
Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
changing engine oil.
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.
