Higher PSI Oil Pressure Sensor for Oil Light
Supposedly the oil light doesn't come on until pressure drops to 5psi and the sensor circuit signals by grounding. Is there a direct replacement sensor with the same plug that would trigger in the 10-15 psi range?
I eventually plan to install a oil pressure gauge but until then... |

Honeywell has a line of simple pressure switches. I think they are all NPT, so youd need a NPT to BSPT adapter. Youll have to play around for a few minutes with a multimeter to determine if you need a N.O. or N.C. switch. The plug would need to be changed as well.

Good idea OP, I'd be in for a swap to a higher PSI warning sensor as well.
I wonder if Motorvate DIY has messed with it at all?

I would like to find a OE replacement from a different model that has the same BSPT thread & and maybe plug but higher trigger pressure. When I look up OE pressure sensors none of them give the switch pressure or even thread. Was looking for something simple and quick but if it will become a project then I'll just put a gauge in when I have time.
