wheel. After you press this button, the warning will
redisplay every 10 minutes until the pressure returns to
the normal operating range. Oil pressure should be
20 to 80 psi (140 to 550 kPa). In certain situations such
as long, extended idles on hot days, it could read as
low as 6 psi (40 kPa) and still be considered normal.
It may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and
oil viscosity. The Oil Pressure Light shoud also come
