Re: Aftermarket gauges for stock inst. cluster

I don't want to start some sort of internet war. As there are many opinions out there, but I would look at other issues first. Is the current gauge reading accurate? Have you checked against a known good gauge? 90 to 100 PSI is a LOT of oil pressure. If my engine was truly making that much oil PSI when it is warmed up I would find out why and fix that. The problem with that much pressure is it heats up the oil and that causes the oil to degrade quicker. Hotter oil means a hotter running engine. There can be other issues including less horsepower and decreased gas mileage. Good luck.
