oil gauge..temperature or pressure? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

can you tell im a newbie without a 240sx? I was wondering whether the stock guage in S13's is of temperature or pressure. My pops checked out a 240 for me, and said the oil pressure is low.. but if the gauge is of temperature, then it may sway my choice of getting this 240. low oil pressure = bad. I tried searching, and nothing turned up on the stock gauges.

pressure, but usually when you see this light its too late....but there have been cases to falsify my statement.

there is no gauge, it is simply a warning light that comes on rather late. the only gauges are gas, temp, tach and speedo.

this is for an s13, not sure about s14's.
