^lol.
Another i thought of watching your video. IF you hold the motor at 2000rpm oil pressure should be 40psi. That is usually my little test if i am scared.

My SW gauge does the same thing, it doesn't move smoothly but i know its sensitive to being grounded good.

Just thought of something, I didnt see it posted but did you replace oil pressure sensor when you replaced the gauge?

Yes, took out Autometer gauge+sender and install ProSport gauge+sender.

I'll have to ask my autoparts store if they rent out oil pressure testers, but doubt they do. Hopefully they aren't too expensive then.

Whats your stock gauge show and is the warning light on? If both gauges are reading the same I doubt its the pressure sensor, but if you conclude that it is contact ProSport and get a new one from them (they have a 1 year warranty).

What oil filter? If Fram, throw in garbage, replace with wix/equivalent.

OEM Mitsu only for my cars. A quality filter can make a big difference.

I used a Napa Gold filter this time around, used Mobil 1 before.

Hughes, I don't have the stock sender hooked up, I took that one out and ran a tap for NPT threads and just screwed the new sender into the housing.

I use napa gold too. OEM ones tend to leak for me.

I have a mechanical oil pressure testing gauge. you could come over sometime and we could check it out or I might be able to come to you sometime.
