I've seen a lot of 914 owners incorporate a 911 oil pressure gauge (and aftermarket oil pressure gauges) into their 914 dash. Since oil level and oil pressure are two different things, what is the oil pressure helping a 914 driver monitor or prevent from happening?

I've never owned a car with an oil pressure gauge. The stuff I'm reading on Google is all over the place and I can't find anything specific to 914s.

Thanks in advance for the education.

I agree.. Might be more useful on a six. I was told 10lbs for every 1k RPM's. My 3.2 six has a stock pressure gauge which reads in Bars, so pretty worthless except to tell you, you have pressure.
