My oil pressure gauge goes all the way up and stays there? wires backwards? not hooked up? bad guage? Oil level is too high even though it is so damn hard to tell with the dipstick they give us...

 

They are **** to begin with. Go aftermarket..

 

Sounds good are they easy to hook up come with instructions?

 

Cant complain about too much oil pressure...=) Unless its at idle..=)

 

It's all the time as soon as i start it up.

 

There's a spring on the back of the gauge that needs to be fixed. You'll have to remove the instrument cluster to fix it. Just be sure to remember the original position of the needle when the car is off.

 

take a pic of the cluster before you take it apart.



as for a aftermaket gauge, you will need a adaptor block

to go under the oil cooler to hook it up, unless you get

one that has the right threads to fit in where the OEM mazda

sender is.

 

A friend of mine said that the Greddy sender goes right into the stock hole, but I'm not too sure about that. Either the Racing Beat or the FC3S.org oil filter pedestal would be the best route to take.

 

if your not good with a wrench then get someone to help you, a stubby

10mm wrench makes the install of the pedestal easier.

 

First before you take things apart, when was the last time you changed your oil? how much oil did you put in? If you put too much it will cause you to read high oil pressure. Also what viscosity did you put in?



Once i added too much 20W50 and whenever i hit high revs the oil pres gauge will peg and iw ould get a warning light... too me 300 kms of driving for the oil to be used up some.



Btw the stock oil pressure gauge is not garabage. Why does everyone think everything on the car is garbage?
