Sensor works great put may have grounding issue

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2014

The sensor works great but you need to be aware of a possible grounding issue. If you use Teflon tape the sensor my not ground with the oil housing and the gauge will not work. So be sure to use Teflon paste in stead or you will need to run a jumper wire from the sensor housing (I used a hose clamp to hold the wire to the housing of the sensor) then to a known ground.

Product works amazing. Used it on a 6.4 powerstroke for a customer. Reads accurated pressure.

Fixed my problem

Fixed my gauge reading low to no oil pressure, usually holding 40+psi warm now. Been on the engine for a couple months now with no issues.

Revised - Great Product!

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2016

It is unfortunate the unit failed within 48 hours of installation.
I am buying a replacement sender today hoping the new unit will work as designed.

10/14/2016 - Update - Upon replacing the failed unit, I realized the micro-orifice in the unit was plugged with a small teflon tape particle. I used teflon tape as a thread sealant. I have to admit this is user error - my user error. I am revising my Review to a 5 - highly satisfied. I will keep the replaced sender as a backup.

10/16/2016 - Update - The new unit failed again. However, upon unistalling the sender unit I noticed the micro-orifice was blocked with small fragments of of teflon tape. I drilled a 1/8 in. hole in the sender unit using the micro-orifice as a guide. I then proceeded to test the sender unit by hooking it up to a 30 psi air compressor. The electrical resistance readings covered the range of 0 to 200 ohms. Finally, upon final installation in the car, the gauge worked perfectly showing an oil pressure reading from 25 psi to 75 psi. I am now rating the unit a 4 because of the extra effort required to get it to work correctly. I am posting this to inform other readers whose sender units have failed. Based on my experience so far, it appears the factory orifice diameter needs to be increased to minimize field failures.

Need to change Online photo of the product. It shows a post with a nut instead of the male portion of the plug which was the product I received.

Works perfect.

I already had a previous one installed for my AutoMeter Phantom 0-100 PSI Oil pressure gauge. The gauge stop working and I suspected the sender unit was the issue. Replacing the unit solved the problem and now things are good again..
