i like to know how good the flow in the engine is lol....its messures the pressure in PSI when the engine is cold the oil is thicker therefore the psi is usally higher around 70-80 psi than once it settles down about 25-30 psi at idle...with more revs the pressure goes up as the engine needs more lubrication so the gauge dosnt just sit on one thing it moves up and down depending on the revs....sorta like a boost gauge but not really lol... you can get volts, oil pressure, oil temp, air fuel ratio, water temp, boost, vacume check out the website

thanks mate. air to fuel wouldn't was my next pick. would be a tough choice between the oil and that one i reckon. would it change at all though?
