That'd be your oil pressure sensor. It's only good for the idiot light in the dash.

Man, New Jersey sucks. Corrosion much?

you can also swap the old sesor out and put an oil pressure gauge in. That would be cool.

you can put an oil pressure gauge in. just pull the black cover off and take the sensor out. The oil pressure gauge should come with several different fittings, one should fit.

autometer seems to be the most popular. They do look nice.but they are expensive.I got sunpros for my civic. They where alot cheaper and they work pretty good. Theres some other brands out there you just gotta find them. Try http://www.nopi.com

the gauge will not come with a bspt to npt adapter...
you have to buy it separately from lets say;

note that a NPT thread will fit a bspt, but not well and might leak
