One big difference is with a mechanical gauge, you now have a hot oil line coming into the car to the back of the gauge that could potentially leak HOT *** FUKING OIL EVERYWHERE ON YOU AND YOUR INTERIOR!!!
just get an electrical gauge, you'll be happy you did.

thats why i always use steel braided lines and not the crap they give u with the gauge. only costs like 20 more. Everyone has theyre own preference, i just dont like having senders and extra sensors everywhere

less moving parts? Correct me if I'm wrong, but what has less moving parts than an electrical signal?
mechanical gauges by their very nature... are full of moving parts.
However... I could understand less total parts, or less electronic junk to break, so I can see your point.

i was just using it as a term. the reason i like mechanical gauges is because they are always accurate, with electical u have to worry about the sender giving out. Not a big deal but enough in my mind to always lean towrd mechanical. Theres enough stress in upkeeping a turbo honda without having to worry if your oil pump broke when realistically a $10 sender took a **** on you....but like i said earlier everyone has their own personal preference

but if both gauges broke, wouldnt u rather spend $10 for a new sender rather than $60 for the whole mechanical gauge??
