i have a 90 crx dx, i got this gauge http://www.autometer.com/cat_g...sid=3

it says to drill a hole in the oil pan, id that the only option i have? or can i just find an adapter for the oil pan plug?

 

Most people just T it in with the oil sender on the back of the block. I like using an oil sandwich adapter. Golden eagle makes one, as well as other companies.

The oil sandwich adapter goes in between the oil filter, correct? Those things are nice

 

bad things have happened to people who run hot oil lines in their car for that reason

find a way to do it electrically.

That's why you use a stainless line instead of the nylon one provided.

 

I ran a similar autometer on my car for years, like the man said run a tee off of the back of the block and lose the nylon. autometer sells the braided hose for gauge.

 

thanks for the feed back

 

Do it where the oil pressure sending unit is, you can get a T fitting for it or just unplug the wire from the sensor and put the adaptor on it. USE teflon tape when your threading it in or you will leak.

 

yea i got the same gauge as you. you dont need a t if you dont want your stock oil pressure light. if you do get a t. if not then just unscrew the stock oil light sensor. and they do sell the t fitting at most hardware stores. lol
