Oil Pressure Gage
The engine oil pressure
gage, on the lower right
portion of your instrument
panel cluster, shows
engine oil pressure in
psi (pounds per square
inch) or in kPa
(kilopascals).
Oil pressure may vary with outside temperature and oil
viscosity, but readings of 30 to 40 psi (205 to 275 kPa)
on gasoline engines at operating temperature and
moderate road speeds are normal. If you have a diesel
engine, the normal operating range should be between
35 and 70 psi (240 to 480 kPa).
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problem.
If you have a Caterpillar
®
diesel engine, also see your
Caterpillar
®
Operation & Maintenance Manual.
{
CAUTION:
Do not 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: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Always follow the
maintenance schedule in this manual for changing
engine oil.
