I have no idea how accurate it is. I hear the oil pump on a rotary is very robust, so I'll trust the stock gauge for now.

You should check your oil pressure and in the mean time the accuracy of the stock gauge, by unscrewing the actual sending unit and screw a small mechanical gauges in and see what you get. After the test you put the sender back on.

yeah, thats what i though, i don't want to run hoses everywhere. I'll just pay the extra buck and get electrical gauges.

< It has nothing to do with a "extra buck", mechanical gauges are more accurate thats all, but it requires more to hook them up then running a wire, so you could say "Ill go the easy way out and get electric gauges" :notify:

As long as you buy a good one because you can also get inaccuracy with mechanical gauges.
