    at what pressure does M20 oil press lite go on?

    ..thinking of installing another light in dash (w/ a higher press sender), just to be safe on track. TIA

      ...the standard VDO sender for the m20 is set up at 10lbs or you installed a different sender? I recall your AC vent set up.....I imagine its hard to glance at while tracking car?.........are you using 100 or 80 lb gauge?......tia!

        My guage placement is as good as it gets on a e30.. its very much in your immediate field of sight. Definately not in your ashtray...

        I have a 0-80PSI Oil Pressure guage, with a aftermarket VDO dual sender.

        The stock oil pressure switch is triggered at 7PSI.

        My VDO sender has one circuit for the guage, and a secondary switch circuit that turns the idiot light on at 10PSI.
