HONDA 2011 Odyssey - Manual (Page 672)

Let the vehicle sit for a minute.
Open the hood, and check the oil
level (see page
). An engine
very low on oil can lose pressure
during cornering and other driving
maneuvers.
Safely pull off the road and shut
off the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning lights. If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page
).
Start the engine, and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If it does not go
out within 10 seconds, turn off the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired
before you can continue driving
(see
on page
).
This indicator should never
come on when the engine is
running. If it starts flashing or stays
on, the oil pressure has dropped very
low or lost pressure. Serious engine
damage is possible, and you should
take immediate action.
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK
ENGINE OIL LEVEL’’ message on
the multi-information display when
this indicator comes on.
