Hey all
Pretty general noobie question, but I've heard a bunch how the oil pressure "sending unit" in Foxs 302's is more a switch than a variable sensor? Meaning its either on or off, and the gauge is in fact more of a dummy gauge than anything? Reason I ask is cuz sometimes my oil pressure reads out around the halfway mark or "M" in "Normal", and sometimes its hanging right on "L" (this is what concerns me lol).
Ive cleaned the connection nipple to the switch, and ruled out that all grounding wires are fine. The needle somedays will move with RPM changes, but days like today, it kinda just stays just above "L" and doesn't move with RPM. No funky noises or anything, it runs like a top! New switch is in the mail tomorrow, will put it in and cross my fingers.
Oil is Castrol GTX 10-30, engine just hit 200k kms, never drips or burns any oil, no blow by either.
Thanks!
