oil pressure
Lubrication system reading
Oil pressure is the force exerted by lubricating oil as it circulates through an engine or hydraulic system.
In vehicles, oil pressure indicates whether the lubrication system is functioning properly—low oil pressure can signal leaks, pump failure, or insufficient oil, risking engine damage.
The dashboard warning light for oil pressure is one drivers should never ignore: The oil pressure light came on, so I pulled over immediately.
