Buick 2000 manual Oil Pressure Light

Oil Pressure Light

If your vehicle has the standard instrument panel cluster, this light will come on if there is a problem with your engine oil pressure.

If your vehicle has the optional gage cluster, you can read your oil pressure directly from the Driver Information Center (DIC). See ªDIC Displays and Controlsº in the Index.

The oil light will come on briefly when you turn your key to RUN. 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.

But, when this light comes on and stays on, and a chime sounds, 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.

CAUTION:

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.

NOTICE:

Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be costly and is not covered by your warranty.
