Oil Pressure Light?

[Jim Smyth]

I have a 2023 Big Bend with the 2.3. Got it for our daily driver and also our TOAD behind the Motorhome. Just did my first Oil Change and have a question. Oil change was straight forward but after the Oil change I thought I would monitor the oil pressure to make sure I didnt bugger anything up. I assumed the Oil Pressure would be in the instrument gauge cluster. But nope not there. I then thought I needed to see where the Oil idiot light was and low and behold there isnt one. At least not one that I can find. What am I missing? I hate to rely on the idiot light but that doesnt even illuminate when you turn the accessories on without starting the engine. In the old days that was at least a test to make sure the light bulb wasnt burnt out. Any help is appreciated. TIA, Jim

There is an oil pressure light. It doesn't display the actual pressure, it will just light up when there is low oil pressure.

Turn the ignition on without starting it and you'll see it.

Here is what my dash looks like in the initial accessory position without starting the car. I do not see any Oil Light anywhere.

I'd say it's included, implied in the engine light. But I do find it odd we have a temp, trans temp and oil temp gauge but no oil pressure.

Being a mechanical type person it makes no sense at all.

Well maybe it doesn't show it with the engine off then, I thought it did.

Regardless, there is an oil pressure light that illuminates when it has low oil pressure.

Once I get rid of the warnings here is my screen. It has a battery but nothing else. What size motor do you have?

It only comes on if it has low oil pressure with the engine running. It won’t show with only ignition on like I thought it would.
Engine size doesn’t matter (as long as it isn't a Braptor)

Of course size matters - my 3.0L Braptor has an oil pressure gauge.
