Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation

OPERATION
The Oil Pressure Indicator will light with the Ignition Switch in the ON position prior to cranking, and goes off when the engine starts. The Lamp glows when the oil pressure drops below a safe operating pressure hence lighting the indicator.
