Uprated oil pressure switch
With Bry's recent unfortunate events, has anyone ever fitted an uprated oil pressure switch? There are many around, but wondered if anyone has sourced a quality replacement....
The standards are set ridiculously low (7-8 psi), however one set to 15-20 psi could save the day.. Thoughts peeps... |

It could also be that it was time for the block to go anyway, so no matter what was done before hand the 2.5 malaise was going to come, it was a RCM rebuild previously and quality parts where used. Personally, now on Scoob number 8 and only ever having one engine go (at JDM block with 100K plus miles) and no other issues I would agree an uprated switch may help but it's like a boy with his finger in the dyke. And not that type of dyke either :D |
not suggesting that the switch was the culprit, just a higher rated replacement switch could help avoid major catastrophes and at the tenth of the price of Defi's.

That's how I knew I had low oil pressure as my defi oil pressure alarm was dinging and flashing red lol
|
precisely Bry.
For those without Defi's an option would be to replace the existing oil pressure sensor with a higher rated one:wonder: |
What should the oil pressure be as std
