Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle with low oil pressure can cause
extensive engine damage. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by your
warranty.
Oil Pressure Gage (3800 V6 Engine)
120 'I/, 0
Your oil pressure gage
shows the 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. In fact, while the engine is
warning
up, the oil pressure will be higher than at the
normal operating temperature. Readings above the red
warning
zone indicate the normal operating range.
If the gage reads in the red warning zone, your engine's
oil level may be dangerously low or there may be
another problem causing low oil pressure.
