As has been stated once coolant is at temp the oil still has a long way to go. But I would rather know that my pressure could be below the min that it should be for a given RPM than the temp.Obviously if you have a major issue and loose oil you'll probably be told by the warning light on the dash first. But if your driving along normally and its lower than it should due to having lost some but not all the oil the pressure gauge would tell you this.I run 2 defi electronic racer series gauges being oil pressure and boost. (In a BF oil pressure at 2000RPM should be no lower than 43, and at idle think its 17 (might be 19)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought the pod that fits on top of the icc. Now my question is why the gauges are loose in the cups and why do the gauges have the long screws on the back bcoz it kinda hits the back of the cup. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
