Oil pressure can vary with engine
speed, outside temperature and
oil viscosity, but if readings are
outside the normal operating range,
the oil pressure light comes on.

page 5‑31 for more information.
A reading outside the normal
operating range can be caused
by a dangerously low oil level or
some other problem causing low
oil pressure. Check the vehicle's
oil as soon as possible. See “OIL
PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE”
