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).
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.
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.
