from what I hear, if pressure gets to high with a mechanical, it can burst and send hot oil inside the car and probably on you. NOT FUN.

I've had mechanical oil gauge for many miles (easily 15 or 20k) No problem with leaking or bursting. It takes a LOT to burst that nylon line, much more than our oil pump is going to produce. The only thing to be careful for is that you don'
And mechanical gauges are faster reacting and more accurate than their electrical counterparts.
