Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
can damage the engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
changing engine oil.

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 can vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above
the low pressure zone indicate the normal operating
range. When the oil pressure reaches the low pressure
zone, the OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE
message appears in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-56 and
Engine Oil on page 5-15 for more information.

A reading in the low pressure zone can be caused
by a dangerously low oil level or some other problem
causing low oil pressure. Check the oil as soon as
possible.
