Engine
Oil
Pressure Gage
The engine oil pressure
gage shows the engine oil
pressure in psi (pounds per
square inch) or kPa
(kilopascals) when the
engine is running.
Oil pressure should be
20
to
80
psi
(140
to 550 Wa).
(In certain situations such as long, extended idles on hot
days, it could read as low as
6
psi
(40
kPa) and still be
considered normal.) It may vary with engine speed,
outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above
the shaded area show the normal operating range.
Readings in the shaded area tell you that the engine is
low on oil, or that you might have some other oil
problem. See “Engine Oil” in the Index.
The engine oil pressure can also be displayed using the
GAGES
button on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See “Driver Information Center” in the Index.
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.
