Oil Pressure gauge on 02 ecotec
Thursday, September 13, 2007 10:46 PM
I have just recently purchased 3 new gauges air/fuel, vacuum/boost, and a oil pressure gauge... I have found how to hook the first 2 up but i am stumped on how to hook up the Oil pressure gauge and if there is a easy way to install it???

You could buy an oil filter adapter. Thats what I did, and thats the only way I know how to do it.

You will need a Autometer Metric adapter part #AUT2278,And you will need to remove a hex head bolt on the drivers side head..It is the one closest to the fire wall..And it is the only one you can really get to...If you are running a mechanical gauge get a steel line or a braided line or the plastic one will heat up and start to leak..I would recomed going electric then you do not have to run a oil line into the car reducing the risk of oil leaking in the car...If you go electric you will need a bradied line because you cant mount the pick up sensor in that spot..And you will need to ground the sensor due to the fact it is not mounted to metal...
