Do I need to use an oil pressure gauge to check my oil pressure? Will a regular air pressure gauge work? Or one for hydronic systems?
ok, found a 0-100 lb oil pressure gauge, but the adaptor threads look a bit more fine than the Bobcat sender threads. Anyone know the bolt/thread size for the sender unit? The sender is a little loose in a 10MM by 1.0 nut.Assuming you are talking engine oil pressure, correct? Not auxiliary hydraulic oil pressure?
For engine oil pressure, I would use a gauge that has a full range of at least 90 psi to get an accurate reading.

I think its 1/8 pipe thread. Either way, its a tapered pipe thread. A grease gun hose will most likely thread in.ok, found a 0-100 lb oil pressure gauge, but the adaptor threads look a bit more fine than the Bobcat sender threads.

just a guess? getting l0w oil press codes. so yes verify with a manual guage. probally abad sender.9 outa ten. times.NOTE.. sevral senders work off same 8 volt supply.I think its 1/8 pipe thread. Either way, its a tapered pipe thread. A grease gun hose will most likely thread in.
I am curious as to the point is WHY you would need / want to check the pressure. Engine oil pressure testing is a good idea to check when engine problems arise. You should use a HYDRAULIC gauge when checking HYDRAULIC pressures. Engine oil is a fluid which is pressurized. So a good gauge that reaches 100 PSI is ideal. AS for what fitting to use, just pull the engine oil pressure sensor out & match it up at a shop that specializes in making hydraulic hoses. Tell them what you want to do & they will be able to make it happen. Then check you oil pressure with the engine COLD & again once it fully WARMS UP! Let us know what you get from this test.just a guess? getting l0w oil press codes. so yes verify with a manual guage. probally abad sender.9 outa ten. times.NOTE.. sevral senders work off same 8 volt supply.
