Oil
Pressure
Gage
The oil pressure gage
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 readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.
A
reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by
a
dangerously low
oil
level or other problems causing
low
oil pressure.
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.
