Why Oil Pressure Monitoring Is Critical
Oil pressure is the single most important indicator of engine health.
When it drops:
- Bearings starve
- Friction skyrockets
- Engine failure happens fast
Too high?
- Blockages or pump issues
- Seal damage
This gauge lets you catch problems before they become rebuilds.
Bright anodized bezels, polished pointers, race proven movements and real carbon fiber dials set this series apart.
Key Features & Functions
Mechanical Oil Pressure Operation
This gauge uses a direct mechanical oil line:
- Instant, real-time readings
- No signal delay or electrical interference
- Extremely accurate under all conditions
Yes, you’ll run an oil line into the cabin—do it right, and you’ll get the best data possible.
Traditional incandescent lighting fixtures illuminates across the perimeter of the dial
0–100 PSI Pressure Range
The 0–100 PSI range covers most street and performance engines:
- Monitors idle pressure
- Tracks pressure under load
- Identifies drops or spikes immediately
Because “it looked okay earlier” doesn’t help when things go wrong.
Auto Meter’s race proven mechanical instruments supply depended on accuracy even as being easy to put in
