Oil

Gage
Standard Cluster
Digital
Cluster
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 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.
On the digital cluster, a box around the oil pressure symbol will begin to
flash when the oil pressure
is
low.
A
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.
