Oil Psi gauge erratic...


Recommended Posts

Where is it that the gauge gets its reading from? Is it only from the Oil psi sending unit that plugs right near the filter? Im thinking about just putting an Autometer gauge in. Ive been through two clusters and two oil sender units and the one in there now is brand new. When i start the car its up near 80 but while im driving, sometimes it drops to a little above the red area near 0 and other times it stays around 20. And other times it just twitches. Any help? IF i were to hook up an aftermarket gauge, would i just hook it up to the wire coming outa that sender and run it to the gauge? Thanks

Mine simply twitches when I'm stopped at a light or something. I'm not sure what to do about it though. It just doesn't bother me anymore.

Same with mine. Once the engine is hot, its normal on my car for the guage to be bumping around 1/4 when I'm at a red light. When I'm giving it WOT it shoots way up though.

Well i mean i coulda destroyed my motor if it werent for that gauge so im glad its not TOO bad,lol. But its starting to get to me. BTW, Is your car photoshopped that low?

Same here. As soon as i go past 1k rpm it goes up to 60ish. I just cant seem oil psi changing like that so i know its a problem.

Yep, and it won't be that low even when I'm done with it, lol. btw, It's badass what you've done to your car, man.
