You should have gotten a sensor that replaces a sensor near your oil filter. Not sure of the exact name of it but it detects if your oil is too low basically. It wires into your gauge and responds once the gauge is powered.

Jack up the car on the right side and take off the right front wheel. There is a sensor screwed into the block near the oil filter. Unscrew that and screw in the sensor for the oil pressure gauge. All thats left is wiring it to your actual gauge inside the car. That's probably the most time consuming.

Hope that helps

What you need is an 1/8th npt "T" fitting. just use the T with your factory pressure sensor, and then add your new one

Nope, thats what I thought when I installed it. I originally bought the guages from snoop a while back and asked him the same question.

No codes. He told me the sensor you replace just detects if you a complete dumbass and dont fill your oil at all.

no need to evean put the sensor back in it is worthless it only tells you if your oil pressur is below 5 or 10 psi I dont remember but you can see that on your gauge anyway

I thought the sensor by the oil filter was the oil pressure sending unit, and that the oil level indicator was actually on the oil pan?? I could be wrong, not sure.
