Gen 3 Oil Pressure Gauge

[vanroth]

Well long story short, just finished fixing and cleaning up an oil leak and changing the timing belt on my Gen 3. While I was doing some OBDII scanning, I noticed that the Montero only has a binary oil pressure idiot light.

Has anyone fitted a proper oil pressure gauge? Any recommendations on a good oil pressure gauge setup?

I'm looking in to this as well. I just had a terrible oil leak during a short drive. Oil line to the cooler snapped and leaked all oil within seconds. Poor engine is now ticking.
I've fixed the line, added HD Lucas to see if it will improve over time.

However I'd still like to get an oil pressure gauge. Did you get yours installed?

If anyone has any suggestions as to an oil pressure gage I would also be interested, I'm wrestling with a number of leaks right now and once all is fixed I'd like to be better prepared for future failures.

Never looked - but add a "T" at the oil pressure sensor would be my guess?
