Re: oil pressure and the oil light
I think the oil light is just for level.
I think the Check Engine comes on for pressure, not sure though. From the manual.
28. Oil Level Indicator Light
With the key in the ignition switch turned to
the ON/RUN position, the oil level indicator
light comes on. It should go out immediately
when the engine is running. If the light does
not go out, or comes on while driving, the engine oil
level has dropped to approximately the minimum
mark on the dipstick.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
A sensor in the oil pan allows oil level to be checked
without opening the hood. It provides an accurate measurement
of oil level, whereas the low engine oil level
indicator warns that oil level is definitely too low. With
the vehicle parked on a level surface, the engine is
warmed up and shut off for approximately five minutes.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN
position, an ISO oil level icon appears in the trip odometer
window and a “clock” icon in the cumulative odometer
display. Pressing the **** to the left of the speedometer
twice displays one of the following messages:
˛ OK
˛ -1.0 Q (-1.0L)
˛ -1.5 Q (-1.5L)
˛ -2.0 Q (-2.0L)
