I have on a few occassion been considering at least an Oil Pressure gauge and Possibly and oil temp (my car does not have them)

Q's

1.) I am from the old school of 270degree sweep and mechanical oil pressure.

Thought I see many running the electrics, comments on either??

2.) Oil temp..again I would lean towards a mechanical but then how on a BMW?

again guy's seem to be running electrics but the sensor I hear is at the same place as the pressure, do you really get a good oil temp rading there? on such a small stagnant sample?

comments and thoughts, expereince?

thx

bill

Bill,

The electric gauges work fine, but you'll need to source some sort of "T" to get both oil temp & pressure in one hole. VDO makes an oil temp sensor that replaces the oil pan drain plug. I use it in my race car & it works well.

What model car do you have?
