So last night the hose from the engine to the oil pressure sender blew out and sent oil everywhere. fortunately I was about 1 mile from home. Lot of oil everywhere, hopefully I did not fry the engine. of course to figure that out I need to get a new sender in place. I would like to have a sender that works the green idiot light and can also work a gauge and of course I would rather not have a hose after this incident. Any suggestions on the sender type and where to get it and what to expect when i try to restart the car...after adding oil of course! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

About the dual senders.
I don't like them. They trip the oil Idiot light much earlier then the stock sender. Some people don't mind that, but on some engines you can get the oil light on at hot idle but the oil pressure is still within spec. Disconcerting. I ran my hose to a T fitting, and have the pressure sender on one side and the stock idiot light sender on the other. Zach |

Zach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) nothing beats the factory oil light switch. To me if you're really worried about oil pressure a big red light hooked to the idiot light is you best bet. |
