I already have the /6 dash guagues but not the center console guages (voltmeter & oil temp).
I am not totally sure my oil pressure guague works properly, but I digress... What I want to know is, would it be be advantageous to have all these guagues (and working of course)? What are the most important secondary guagues (not Spedo & Tach) for these cars? |

QUOTE(lapuwali @ Jul 1 2004, 07:46 PM) The 911 oil level gauge is pretty useless. Really, checking the oil level at all in any way on a dry sump engine is trickier than most people give credit for. The level in the tank will change very significantly depending on whether or not the engine is running, how hot it is, and how long it was sitting since it was last started. . The fact that people don't know how to read it doesn't mean the 911 oil level gauge doesn't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) A dry sump engine will only give a good reading (either gauge or dipstick) when the oil is up to operating temps, the engine is idling and the car is sitting on a level surface. The gauge may not give you an exact measurement, but it gives a very close indication on your oil level cheers, Jeroen |
