Oil Pressure Gage

United States

Canada

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).

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.

Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.

A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problems causing low
oil pressure.
