Oil & Fuel Adding mechanical oil pressure gauge

   / Adding mechanical oil pressure gauge #21  
What's unimpressive about a light? Will a gauge needle sitting on zero grab your attention better?

The OEM OP sender is BSPT thread.

Idiot lights are for chicks. Just kidding. I like lights for grabbing attention. But I like info. Nice to have both. I like guages.

Was thinking of adding one, but wasn't sure what the metric threads would be.

On a bike, I just put in a T, stainless hose to a gauge. Was hoping for something like that. But I haven't looked to see how far the unit is on the tractor.

Race cars absolutely use lights, often in conjunction with gauges. The lights are there to alert the driver to a critical system problem better than a gauge.

I like lights just fine and keep them working. 58 years old, owned a few dozen tractors, trucks and cars with them. Never lost an engine to low oil pressure or high temperature. All the fuss about gauges is overrated. If they make you feel better, go for it. Opinions vary, mine has merit despite your unwillingness to consider it.

Race car drivers are probably focused on their driving. Not saying I am not paying attention to what I am doing either. But there problems may be more go or no go, as opposed to long term issues . I can notice when I need to add a little oil because I am down a few pounds.
