Just caught this over on Discoweb.

Is our oil filter 3/4 -16? If so, the tech support folks says it will work.

It seems to be a simpler way to connect an oil pressure gauge than tracking down obscure adapters and Ts.

 

Yes our filters are 3/4-16.....and this gizmo does look like it would work as long as there is clearance enough

 

When you say "clearance" you mean the gold sending unit clearing the outer circumference of the actual oil filter?

 

It looks as if the oil filter would not interfere with the sending unit that they show, but on my DI I'm not sure that the adapter itself will clear the oil cooler lines..........probably will---just not sure. Why don't one of you guys buy one of these and do a little write up LOL

 

It works just fine, long or short filter.

Old post I know....

 

Yes this is another way of doing the oil pressure gauge.

 

I like Josh's set up better.

 

What's unique about my setup is that I am getting my pressure readings from where the actual sensor gets it. Is one way better? i will let you all know in the future as I plan to do this setup mentioned above JUST to compare readings.

 

Mine should be arriving Tuesday.

I dropped by Autozone just today and picked up a guage with tubing. Electric would have been the better way to go, but I didn't see any on the shelf.

I plan on leaving the gauge in the engine compartment. I'm not keen on having pressurized oil in the people space.

 

That's why mine is electric. having one in the engine bay would work but then you would not be able to get readings without anyone else helping you. and the readings can only be done on the drive way.

the purpose of adding oil pressure gauge is to get readings at start-up, idle, warm idle, and at various conditions of engine load. everyone's readings will be different due to engine wear etc...even if you used the same setup so the key is to read for consistency during the above mentioned times.
