Oil Pressure 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 temperatureand oil viscosity, but readings abovethe low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range. A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a dangerouslylow 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. 2-59
