    Low oil pressure indicator light

    On my track car I Have my gauges in and wanting to put in a low oil pressure warning light. I have 2 sensors I'm looking at. 15psi or 30psi. Which one? Is 15 to low and/or 30 to high? Any thoughts. I was running a 18psi on my 944 track car

              Yeah, 14psi is idle at op. temperature and the aftermarket VDO sensor has alarm light set to 7psi.
              15 and 30 are good operational numbers, that's way to high for the light. Though you probably wouldn't want to have only 14psi during load, maybe that's why it's set higher?
