you are better off getting a aftermarket Oil pressure gauge. that is just for the warning light on the dash letting you know when you got low oil pressure. 99% of the time when that light comes on your [freak]ed anyway

I like having it as a quick visual verification that the engine is building enough pressure on start up, as well as to serve as a warning light to notify me of any problems. Even though the damage has already happened, the engine's not going to explode in every case and catching an early symptom can sometimes keep minor damage from becomoing major damage.

It's really a peace of mind thing for me.
