Q: Are there accurate electrical oil pressure gauges that will beep me when my oil pressure goes too low and how do they work?
I want to put an oil pressure gauge into my vehicle . It is a 2006 Altima It has only an oil pressure switch now that connects to a warning light if the oil pressure drops to below 4psi. By that time it is too late to avoid engine damage. I want an oil pressure gauge with a warning beeper.
My car has 60000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
