SERVICE INFORMATION
Oil pressure gauge readings can vary greatly as oil temperature and engine speed change. A "low" gauge reading at hot idle does not necessarily indicate
a lubrication system problem.
This Service Bulletin describes oil pressure gauge and oil pressure warning light operation.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Oil Pressure Gauge
Depending on oil temperature and engine RPM, the normal oil pressure gauge reading can range from 8.5 psi at hot idle to more than 100 psi during cold
acceleration (Figure 1).
If the engine oil pressure is below 8.5 psi, follow the appropriate Workshop Manual instructions for diagnosis and repair procedures for the lubrication
system and/or oil pressure gauge.
