Oil Pressure Gage 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). A CAUTION: Don't keep driving if oil pressureis low. If the you do, your engine can become hot that it so catches fire.You or others could be burned. Check your oilas soon asspossible and have your vehicle serviced. 0 h 120 Oil pressure may vary withengine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the red warning zone indicate the normal operating range. A reading in the red zone may be caused by a dangerously low oil level or other problem causing low oil pressure. The CHECK GAGES light will go on and a warning chime will sound, if you have this option. Driving your vehicle with low oil pressure can cause extensive engine damage. I NOTICE: ~~~ ~~ ~~ Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be costly and is not coveredby your warranty. 1 2-73
