What does the pressure gauge in the lubrication system indicate?

Correct answer

The oil pressure in the pipes

It indicates oil pressure in the lubrication circuit. It does not directly measure sump level or oil quantity. Acceptable values depend on the engine and checking conditions, such as speed and temperature; compare them with manufacturer specifications. Abnormal pressure may have different causes and does not alone identify a specific fault. Follow the manual’s instructions for low-pressure warnings.
