Questions on oil pressure gauges

b00sted_spyder · 03-07-2010

I'm looking to buy a few autometer gauges very soon and have questions.

-Oil pressure
Should I get the 0-100, 0-150, or 0-200 readings on the gauge? Do they come with the oil pressure sending unit with adapter fitting to fit our oil filter housing when bought new or do you have to buy those alone?

Thanks!

i dont think you will ever need the 0 200 gauge

I would get 0-150. Mine goes to 100 and I will go passed 100 a few times. When I installed mine and a buddy's we just went to menards to get the proper fitting for the OFH. It doesn't come with the correct one.

0-150 would be best, yes. Mine goes above 100 over 4k rpm.

0-150

I have this gauge, I really like it:

sender is sold separately. Pretty affordable though. It reads over 100, but it just omits the '1' so it will say something like '00' or '05'. Been really reliable for me, I remote mounted my sender so it'll last longer.

Got my gauges yesterday. Where do I buy the sending unit for my 0-150psi autometer oil pressure?
