If you have a problem with your oil, this light may stay on after you start your engine, or come on when you are driving.

A warning chime and the DIC message LOW OIL PRESSURE may also come on.

These indicate that oil is not going through your engine quickly enough to keep it cool. The engine could be low on oil, or could have some other oil problem. Have it fixed right away.

The oil light could also come on briefly when the ignition is on but the engine is not running. The light will come on as a test to show you it is working, but the light will go out about five seconds after you turn the ignition to START. If it doesn't come on with the ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it fixed right away.

Caution: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. The engine can become so hot that it catches fire. Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon as possible and have the vehicle serviced.

Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil.
