Oil Pressure Gage

United States

Canada

Readings above the shaded warning zone indicate the
normal operating range. Oil pressure may vary with
engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity.

A reading in the shaded warning zone may be caused by
a low oil level or another problem causing low oil
pressure. On vehicles with the systems monitor, the
CHECK GAGES light will come on and a warning
chime will sound.

On vehicles with a DIC, a CHECK GAGES OIL
PRESSURE message will be displayed and a warning
chime will sound. See “DIC Warnings and Messages” in
the Index for more information.

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.

NOTICE:

Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.
