Adding Oil Pressure Gauge?

[ItwasfixeduntilIbrokeit.]

Has anyone here added an oil pressure guage to their ex? Is it even possible? My 2011 is knocking on the door of 250k miles, Im just curious what it currently is, I haven't had any issues.

I did a quick search and did not find where any member had done this, There are, however, several threads on adding gauges, mostly for boost and fuel pressure. These are mainly done using your phone or tablet. You can use the 'Search' feature at the top right and search this forum for gauges.
It seems physical gauges are a thing of the past.

They have. It’s pretty easy. You can also convert your current gauge to show an actual analog reading.

Oil Pressure Gauge Mod DONE!

Yesterday, I did the oil pressure gauge modification that was talked about here several weeks ago. I changed the oil pressure sender, and removed the 20K resister from the back of the gauge - now my gauge indicates actual oil pressure! It took 2 hours to remove the dash, replace the resister...

I did search but figured I'd ask anyway. Very true, I am however interested in a physical guage. Is there room to add a t-fitting where the low pressure sensor screws in, resulting in relocating the sensor and adding a place for a sensor for an electric guage? That would be ideal.

Yes. There are a few people who have done it on here, both with the remote sending unit, and hydraulic style with the oil line.

your PCM reads oil pressure already. There are tons of ways to tap into it. Forscan being the easiest...but Torque Pro can do it as well.
