Auto Meter Cobalt Series Oil Pressure Gauge - Unboxing and Installation on my Mazda Mx-6.
For my oil sender, I chose to take the reading from the location of the O.E. oil sender. This is particularly important because I am using an external oil filter relocator with long oil lines. I want to obtain the measurement from this point to ensure accuracy. Also I will be running a performance Boundary Oil Pump on my next engine build and I am curious if the oil pressure will change.
However for my setup I have installed an oil filter relocator kit so my oil sender is installed in the adapter plate of that kit.
Since the OE oil sender is affordable, I have decided to install a new one. I selected two different options to try out. Both are of good quality; however, I will be using the Hella sender because it has a shorter profile and because it is the color performance red.
Due to the installation of my supercharger setup, it obstructs the original oil filter housing, prompting the use of an oil filter relocation kit. In order to run two oil pressure sensors, I need a special adapter that would extend out enough to mount them.
