Questionable oil pressure

Whenever someone on here says there having over heating problems or oil pressure problems, or any kind of problem brought to their attention from their gauges, theres always atleast one comment to get another gauge because the stock ones are not accurate, and I never listened to them, not because I thought they were accurate, but because I thought they may not give me an exact number but they gotta be close.

The oil pressure gauge though, does not fall into that category. It really is worth it to get another oil pressure gauge. And though it may seem like a lot of work, or just a hassle, if you really care about your motor, you will want to monitor it with a real gauge. The stock oil pressure unit on our cars, is not real a sending unit, its more of a switch. For months I thought I was going to have to take out my motor an rebuild everything, because my oil pressure would drop to zero when I came to a stoplight. I installed an autometer electric oil pressure gauge I got from my work, and a crappy universal a-pillar holder, and I found out my oil pressure was fine after all. They are very simple to install, even for me, a person who HATES wiring.

I am not saying your oil pressure is fine and its just your gauge, but you really do need a new gauge, even if your oil pressure is fine, our cars are getting old, and you need to be able to accurately monitor it. As for the temp gauge, and volt gauge, I wouldnt worry about its accuracy as much as the op gauge.
