Hey guys,
I recently installed an Autotechnica digital oil pressure gauge in my ecotec and it's reading very low.
It runs about 20-30 on start up but then when warm it varies quite a lot, often hitting 0.
I'm not sure if it's the gauge or if I have a problem with the car itself.
The factory sensor is still attached via a T-piece so any warning lights should still activate if I have an issue. The gauge reads about 30 on take off and can go as high as 80 so I've seen.
Do I have an inaccurate gauge or a problem with my car?
Just did an oil change (inc. filter) today as well.
