Default Where is the Oil Pressure light?

Crazy question, but where is the oil pressure light?

When I turn the key on (and engine is not running) I should be able to see the oil pressure light to make sure the bulb is working. All the other lights light up except this one.

I don't see it. Where is the darn thing?

Default We have an oil pressure light?

Does it only come on when there is too much or too little pressure? Or am I just an idiot?

Default It looks a little different than that when you lose pressure. :)

whole display will read "STOP"
and, iirc, the oil can dripping photo with the circle and cross through it. Not to mention the beeping.

Needless to say, it gets your attention. When you've lost oil pressure, you'll know it.

Yes. Just showing the general image. Thankfully, I've never had the chance to snap the real one.

Default Low pressure warning only; there is also some noise (chime or ding) - I had it come on and you'll

know it. Low oil level is orange - this one is RED. You'll know it's bad if you ever see it!
