3570, Oil Pressure Guage
Posted by 95ESi, Jun-16-01 05:45 PM
Is there an oil pressure guage that has a LOW PRESSURE LEVEL warning? (like if pressure is below a certain value, warning light is on??)

Why not use the stock sending unit as a warning light, and add an aftermarket oil pressure gauge by using a T fitting.

were can i get one of those guages? every place i've looked has the replacement guage and i don't want that. i want an extra one.
I'm just a little thing i don't like crawling around in my engine.

I just want to set the low pressure indicator higher than when the light turns on. (I want the stock pressure light to be my final warning).

your stock light is already your final wraning if you wanna go changin gauge settings make your after market one higher and get a stronger oil pump don't mess with oil. if the stock setup says it's kinda bad you know it's gotta be alot worse. NEVER TRUST STOCK PARTS

i'm sure you can do it with an electronic OP guage, you just gotta know the value of the cap/resistor/whateverr you need to get and then get a light for it.
sorry, i'll go into more detail when i get my degree in electircal :)

ARGHHH

I was just asking if there was any guage that you can set the warning light on it to turn on when the guage reads below a certain value (inverse of how an EGT warning guage works!)...
