oil pressure gauge install
Ok,
I've searched the forums and found others have a oil light that comes on at idle also, I changed the sensor and same thing still happens, after engine is warm, oil light blinks on at idle. I don't believe the light and would prefer to install a manual aftermarket gauge. Has anyone out there done this? can I tap in to the oil somewhere besides the sending unit? If I disconnect the sending unit will it cause the car to not run 2002 Stratus 2.7 V-6 75000 miles anything else maybe you ran into that I'm not thinking of? I don't mind crawling under the car again, but where the sending unit is located is increadably tight and if I ask first, maybe I can avoid doing it twice Thanks in advance |

Re: oil pressure gauge install
After searching forever on the internet, I think I've found the answer.
I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem in the future. Also, if you are thinking about purchasing a Stratus 2.7 V-6. Ask yourself 1 question "am I a Do It Yourselfer?" This vehicle is very difficult to work on in the average driveway. Common maint items inspect battery for loose or corroded terminals According to the Haynes manual step 1 remove left front tire WHAT?? I bought this car in 03 and never saw the battery until 06 another common maint item Flush cooling system and replace thermostat Again step 1 remove left front tire 2. remove alternator Again WHAT??? if you are willing to pay $85.00 an hour, or more for what I consider to be minor maint items, this may be a car for you. Anyway, www.glowshiftdirect.com sells a oil filter adapter for installing up to 4 oil accesories, simple as unscrewing oil filter, screw on adapter, replace oil filter, whala, 4 oil ports to tap into. at the time of this post it was 29.95 plus UPS. Hope this helps someone that is looking for the same answer I was. Good Luck |
