FAQs
What is the pressure range of the gauge?
The gauge measures oil pressure from 0 to 10 bar, which is equivalent to 0 to 140 psi.
How many adaptors are included in the kit?
The kit includes 10 oil switch port adaptors with various thread sizes: M10x1, M12x1.5, M14x1.5, M16x1.5, and M18x1.5.
What is the length of the hose?
The included hose is 1200mm, approximately 4 feet long.
Is the carry case color selectable?
No, the color of the carry case is random and cannot be pre-selected.
What can this kit help diagnose?
This kit is used to test oil pump pressure, diagnose issues with low oil warning devices, identify worn oil pumps and engines, and detect faulty oil pressure switches.
Does the kit include a 90-degree adapter?
Yes, a 90-degree coupling adapter is included to help reach difficult or angled ports.
What warranty is provided?
The product comes with a one-year warranty covering any manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
Gauge not reading any pressure
Ensure the adaptor is correctly and securely threaded into the engine port. Verify the hose connections are tight. Check if the engine is running and at a sufficient RPM for oil pressure to build. Confirm the correct adaptor is being used for the specific port.
Hose leaks at connection point
Tighten the hose connection to the adaptor and gauge. If the leak persists, check the seals or O-rings (if applicable) for damage or wear. Ensure the adaptor is fully seated in the engine port.
Gauge reads erratic or fluctuating pressure
This could indicate an issue with the engine's oil pump, a partially blocked oil passage, or a faulty oil pressure switch. Further engine diagnosis may be required. Ensure the gauge itself is not damaged.
Adaptor does not fit the engine port
Double-check the thread size of the port and compare it with the available adaptors. Consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct thread specification. The kit includes common sizes, but rare applications might require a different adaptor.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides accurate oil pressure readings for effective diagnostics.
- Includes a wide variety of adaptors for broad vehicle compatibility.
- The long hose and angled adapter enhance usability in tight engine bays.
- Helps pinpoint potential engine damage related to oil pressure.
- Comes with a protective carry case for organization.
Cons
- The color of the included carry case is not specified and may vary.
- Requires user knowledge of engine components and oil pressure systems for effective use.
- Hose material durability over extended, heavy use might be a consideration for professional mechanics.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the engine is cool before starting.
- Select the appropriate adaptor thread size that matches the engine's oil pressure port or oil switch port.
- Screw the selected adaptor into the engine port securely.
- Connect the 1200mm hose to the adaptor.
- Attach the gauge to the other end of the hose.
- If necessary, use the 90-degree coupling adapter between the hose and the adaptor for better access.
- Start the engine and observe the gauge readings.
Compatibility:
This kit is compatible with most gasoline and diesel engines due to its comprehensive range of thread adaptors (M10x1, M12x1.5, M14x1.5, M16x1.5, M18x1.5). It is designed to test standard oil pressure systems and warning devices.
Care:
- After each use, disconnect the components and clean them with a dry cloth to remove any oil residue.
- Store all parts back in the carry case to prevent damage and loss.
- Keep the gauge and adaptors away from excessive moisture or corrosive substances.
- Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear or damage.
