Readings above the shaded warning zone indicate the normal operating range. Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity.
A reading in the shaded warning zone may be caused by a low oil level or another problem causing low oil pressure. On vehicles with the systems monitor, the CHECK GAGES light will come on and a warning chime will sound.
On vehicles with a DIC, a CHECK GAGES OIL PRESSURE message will be displayed and a warning chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
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.
