No, oil pressure gauges are not all the same. Different manufacturers use different designs and materials. Some are better than others at withstanding vibration and extreme temperatures. Choose an oil pressure gauge that is compatible with the make and model of your vehicle.
Oil pressure sending units are not interchangeable. Each sending unit is designed for a specific engine and must be matched to that engine. Sending units are not universal and cannot be swapped between different engines.
If you have a faulty oil pressure gauge, it is best to not drive your vehicle. This is because if your oil pressure is low, it could mean that your engine is not getting enough oil, which could lead to serious engine damage.
If your vehicle doesn't have an oil pressure gauge, you can still drive it, but you won't be able to keep an eye on your oil pressure. This can lead to engine damage if your oil pressure gets too low. It's best to have a gauge installed so that you can keep an eye on your oil pressure and avoid engine damage.

Product seems comparable to AC Delco and other brands. After this sensor was changed, the check engine light was switched off for a limited period of time before the oil pressure spiked to 80 psi and engine codes with excessive sensor voltage reappeared. Mechanically verifying the oil pressure and using a multimeter to check the source voltage both revealed no issues as normal; nevertheless, this is just my best guess. It turns out that I may have recurved a faulty oil pressure sensor. All is perfect now that AC Delco was replaced.Funny enough, I had experienced the same problem with a genuine AC Delco sensor on an older vehicle, and the initial repair came from AC Delco but failed miserably. Accidents sometimes happen, but overall I'd feel confident trying this product again in the future.

This item is fantastic, cheaper than the majority of the competitors, and of extremely excellent quality. The kit has worked well and contains everything I could possibly need for any of my five automobiles. The gauge is reliable and has a practical range (other rivals have a range of 0-500 psi that is largely useless). This is perfect, and I adore it.

The kit appears to be a wonderful kit, but I can't use it because it didn't include the fittings I require. The supply line on Pontiac 2.4 engines is a 3/8 quick disconnect. At this stage, doing a fuel pressure test is advised. There are adapter hoses in the kit for 5/8 and 5/16 threads, but none for 3/8, and there are no parts there that I can use to make it work. To see if I can make it work that way, I'm going to get some threaded 3/8 fast disconnect adapters. If the threads are correct, it ought to. I'll change my review to reflect this.Update: I was able to connect the gauge to my Grand Am using the OTC GM 3/8 fuel line fittings that I got here on Amazon. Despite the fittings' high cost, I was unable to find anything else that would work. I attempted to use fittings that were allegedly 3/8 screw on on one end (also purchased on this site), but the threads didn't line up with anything in this kit. The gauge worked flawlessly once it was connected, which enabled me to identify the issue (low fuel pressure). Thus, you might need to purchase additional fittings if you plan to use this kit for a GM car.

I had previously been using a voltmeter from a well-known speed shop's own brand. The needle lost its point one year later. bought a Bosch replacement, which has been operating perfectly for two years. I bought the Bosch oil pressure gauge because I wanted dial faces that matched. The gauge came with all the necessary hardware, making installation simple. I'm Joyful.

It is regrettable that the unit failed 48 hours after installation.Today, I'm investing in a new sender in the hopes that it will perform as intended.October 14, 2016 - Update I discovered the micro-orifice in the failed unit had been blocked by a tiny teflon tape particle after replacing it. Teflon tape served as a thread sealer for me. I have to admit that I was the user that made this mistake. My review has been updated to a 5 (very happy). The original sender will be kept by me as a backup.16 October 2016 - Update The replacement device again failed. Uninstalling the sender unit revealed that there were tiny pieces of teflon tape blocking the micro-orifice. I used the micro-orifice as a reference point when I bored a 1/8 in. hole in the sender unit. I then connected the sender unit to a 30 psi air compressor in order to test it. The readings for electrical resistance ranged from 0 to 200 ohms. Finally, after being fully installed in the automobile, the gauge displayed an accurate reading of oil pressure ranging from 25 to 75 psi. As a result of the additional labor needed to get the unit to function properly, I am now rating it a 4. To help other readers whose sender units have failed, I'm providing this. My little experience suggests that in order to reduce field failures, the factory orifice diameter needs to be raised.

The gauge is attractive and functional. I'm now experiencing electrical problems that are resulting in erroneous readings, but I think the problem is with my wiring rather than the gauge itself. It doesn't have a dimming option, is a little light at night, and refreshes the value just once every second, so it doesn't feel as fluid or real-time as a needle gauge.The cause of my reading difficulties was actually the ground. Check your engine to body ground if you purchase this gauge and experience weird or low readings. This gauge could read weirdly if there are bottlenecks here. Other than that, everything functions flawlessly.After using it for a few days, the nighttime brightness doesn't seem to be a problem.Edit: This gauge has stopped working for me after several months of use. In the sending unit, I do think there is a wiring problem.

Excellent product for the money, and the installation is simple with the guidance supplied. Like many others, my transmitting unit failed after a few months, however Bosch offers a one-year warranty on them. Call 800-228-7667 to speak with customer care. I have a sending unit being sent to me with 2-day shipping in a matter of hours. One drawback is that the light is on a circuit board, so unless you have extra time and talent, you're basically of stuck with the off-white incandescent look. However, considering how much gauge costs, why bother?
If your oil pressure sensor is giving you trouble, you might be wondering if you have to drain the oil to change it. The answer is no, you don't have to drain the oil to change the oil pressure sensor. You can simply remove the old sensor and install the new one in its place.
Yes, synthetic oil does hold better oil pressure. The molecules in synthetic oil are smaller and more uniform than those in conventional oil, meaning that they can more easily lubricate engine parts and prevent wear. Additionally, synthetic oil is less likely to break down under high temperatures and pressures, meaning that it can better protect your engine and maintain optimal performance.
If your oil pressure gauge is reading higher or lower than normal, it may be time to replace it. You can also check the oil pressure by starting the engine and revving it up. If the needle on the gauge doesn't move, or if it moves erratically, the gauge is probably bad.
A car will run without oil pressure for a very short time before the engine seizes up. The oil pressure is what lubricates the engine and keeps it cool. Without oil pressure, the engine will overheat and seize up.
A pressure gauge is a device used to measure pressure. There are four main types of pressure gauges: Bourdon tube, diaphragm, bellows, and capsule. The Bourdon tube is the most common type of pressure gauge. It consists of a curved tube that is open at one end and closed at the other. The closed end is connected to the pressure source, and the open end is connected to a pointer that moves over a scale. As the pressure in the tube increases, the tube straightens and the pointer moves up the scale. The di
A mechanical pressure gauge is a device that measures the pressure of a gas or liquid. The three main types of mechanical pressure gauges are Bourdon tube gauges, diaphragm gauges, and manometers. Bourdon tube gauges are the most common type of mechanical pressure gauge. They use a curved tube that expands when the pressure inside the tube increases. This expansion is converted into a rotary motion that is used to move the pointer on the gauge. Diaphragm gauges use a flat diaphragm that is deformed by the
