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. |

IMO, nothing specific to 914s, just a driver/owner's preference to monitor engine status for wear or failure.
I'm perfectly happy with the idiot light that tells me to stop the car. Anytihng else just causes me distraction and needless worry. In fact, I removed my center console, for that reason and for more leg space. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
