Low Oil Pressure

The low oil pressure indicator should

never come on when the engine is
running. If this light comes on with
the engine running, take immediate

action.

Running the engine with low oil

pressure can cause serious mechanical

damage almost immediately. Turn off

the engine as soon as you can safely get

the car stopped.

1. Safely pull off the road and shut

off the engine.

2. Let the car sit for a minute. Open

the hood and check the oil level

(see page 

126

). Although oil level

and oil pressure are not directly

connected, an engine that is very
low on oil can lose pressure during
cornering and other driving
maneuvers.

3. If necessary, add oil to bring the

level back to the full mark on the

dipstick (see page 

126

).

4. Start the engine and watch the oil

pressure light. If the light does not

go out within ten seconds, turn off

the engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired

before you can continue driving.
