Oil Pressure Gage
3800 V6 Engine 5.7L V8 Engine
This gage tells you if there could be a problem with your
engine oil pressure.
The engine oil pressure gage shows the engine oil
pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) in the U.S., or
kPa (kilopascals) in Canada, when the engine is running.
On the 5.7L V8 engine, oil pressure should be 20 to
80 psi (140 to 550 kPa). On the 3800 V6 engine, the oil
pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi (140 to
827 kPa). It may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the red
area show the normal operating range. Readings in the
red area tell you that the engine is low on oil, or that you
might have some other oil problem. See “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
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.
