ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (if

so equipped)

The gauge indicates the engine lubrication sys-

tem oil pressure while the engine is running.

When the engine speed is high, the engine oil

pressure is also high. When the engine speed is

low, the gauge may indicate low oil pressure.

CAUTION

This gauge is not designed to indicate

low engine oil level. Use the dipstick to

check the oil level. (See “Engine oil” in

the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”

section.)

If the gauge needle does not move with

the proper amount of engine oil, have

the vehicle checked by a NISSAN

dealer. Continued vehicle operation in

such a condition could cause serious

damage to the engine.
