Oil
Pressure Gage
1
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 some other problem
causing low oil pressure. Check your oil as soon
as possible. See
