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.
