oil pressure gauge

Post by millionflame »

Hey,<BR> Does an oil pressure gauge tell you how much oil you have, and when you should add more oil (instead of checking the dip-stick) ??? Or, does it do something completely different???<P>Thanks, Aiden.

There is not a gauge for that. You will have to manuelly check oil, for the best resaultes check the oil when the car is cold. This will give you a good idea of the amount of oil in the car. I check my oil every morning that is because I love my ride but you can do it every time you fill with fuel. This way you know if it is low or not also you can tell if it is dirty or not.
