whose using a mechanical oil pressure gauge?
 
who has had problems with their mechanical gauge? i'm afraid that the line may break when its cold out but i already bought everything and its installed so i don't feel like getting a electrical one.

Hahah, you heard that story about people drowning in hot oil in thier own cars???????


I don't get it. If you install the thing with half of a brain in your head you shouldn't be concerned. I'd only use stainless line though.

eh, i used the plastic one and it works fine. vacume line fits perfect for anywhere it may rub or where it contacts sharp edges. works fine

Had a nylon line in my CRX for 2 years, then it got snagged on something and squirted oil all over my exhaust...I ran a copper line this time for my hatch. Better safe than sorry i guess. :-\
