I'm trying to find out if anyone has ever added an Oil PSI gauge to a RX1 as I don't much trust idiot lights. Any help would be appreciated!

If it's possible would probably go with totally electric gauge to iliminate possibility of oil line being rubbed through. If I can find an oil gallery on the engine I will try it out.

The oil cooler adapter has a big bolt on it right beside the filter. I drilled and tapped that bolt for A 90 degree an fitting and used a small Autometer mechanical gauge in the old ignition switch as I moved the ignition to the other side. Braided line that I used wouldn't wear thru. I used P# 2180 autometer. You could use an electric one as well but I wanted the simplicity and reliability of a mechanical gauge
