Means I never have to worry about that ****ty oil sending unit leaking again. The oil gauge sending unit that goes with this gauge replaces the factory POS and doesn't leak. I've only worn one out, but no leaks.
is it hard to wire into the system?Quote:

Probably the hardest part is getting the wire through the firewall to the dash. I'd have to look at mine and see where I ran it as I did it so long ago.
FYI, if you do install a 2 or 3 gauge A-pillar cover you WILL loose some of your sightline to the left. Not much, but it's there. You get used to it. I will say it's really nice to be able to just glance over at eye level and know if there is an issue or not.
4ok doesnt seem tooo bad lol what is the unit that replaces the actual sensor itself or is it like a kit with that gaugeQuote:

Below is the gauge I went with. You could choose any 2 1/16" gauge for the pod. Don't get a mechanical gauge. You don't need to have an oil line inside the car.
gauge- 3327- Just a moment...
this includes the sending unit #2242
I believe the threads in the factory oil filter adapter are 1/8NPT so you will need an adaptor
When installing the sending unit into the oil filter housing only tighenen it to where it is snug and runs into the thread tape. Do NOT overtighen it or you will crack the housing.
And to fill the other hole on the A-pillar pod here is the Voltmeter gauge I installed--> Just a moment...
