Oil
Pressure
Gage
United States
Canada
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).
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.
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.
