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 problem causing
low
oil
pressure. Check your oil as soon as possible.
A
CAUTION:
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.
