Pressure Light/Gage

OIL
Standard Cluster
Gage Cluster
One of these lights will
tell
you that there could be a
problem with your engine oil pressure. If your car has
the optional gage cluster, you can read your oil pressure
directly from the gage on your instrument panel.
There are three ways this light can come on briefly,
which is normal and doesn’t show a problem. They are:
The light comes on when you
turn
your key to
RUN.
It goes off once you turn
it
to START. That’s just a
check to be sure the light works. If
it
doesn’t, be sure
to have it fixed
so
it
will be there to warn you
if
something goes wrong.
If you’re “idling” at a stop sign, the light may blink
on and then off.
If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a
moment.
But, when this light
coms
on and
stays
on,
it
means oil
isn’t going through your engine properly.
You
could be
low on oil,
or
you might have some other oil problem.
See your dealer for service.
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.

to
your engine from neglected oil problems
can be costly and
