I don't think you are being anal. Oil pressure that bounces between 0 - 1 BAR at idle & then goes full scale at road speed is not the gauge, it's the oil pump or main bearings!

Is that the gauge or the sending unit? I'd like to fix it. Just so you don't think I am totally anal -- not yet to be ruled out -- I had the philosophy drilled into my head for years that you *trust your gauges* (while having fun way up there in the sky, and actually being paid to do it) and react accordingly. If oil pressure falls to 0 on one of the engines, you don't say, "Oh, the gauge is flaky." You beat feet for the nearest airport and review your feather-engine checklist. Occupational hazard I just can't seem to shake. On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 7:54 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nont to worry about the oil pressure, the guage on that car is a little > flakey.
