Oil pressure gauge

Recommended Posts

I'd like to fit an oil pressure gauge to my valver. Not really sure what I need. Obviously a gauge but what sender do I use and where do I plum it in? Also what pressure should I be seeing?

 

Thanks

Chris

use a twin pole sender so you can reatain the original warning system.

 

the twin pole sender fits on the oil filter head if you swap the position of the oil pressure and temperature senders

 

oil pressure should be 2 bar at 2000rpm at 80 degrees iirc

I'm getting around 5-6 bar when the engine is cold.

 

About 1.5-2 bar with a warm engine at idle and just over 4 bar at 3,000rpm with a warm engine.
